README for Maksym Khrystunov

Hi! I’m Maksym, but everybody calls me Maks for short, pronounced like “mAEks”, but same as in Mad Max would do)

At Cadence OneFive, my role is…

I guess I am a good fit for Application Engineer

Who am I?

Non-work

Currently pretty much my whole non work time is occupied by my family. I have two beautiful sons Arthur (3.5 years) and Mark (almost 10 months). I believe I’ve bought pretty much every Lego Duplo set available at the moment for sale :D

If not for them I like to play video games or do some pet projects, so when I am at PC nobody knows if I am working or relaxing. Also I really like cars and enjoy driving.

At the moment I live in Kyiv, Ukraine. It’s hard right now to live here, but I believe in our army :)

Work

I have a passion for computers since I was a kid and my dad bought first pc. Since then I’ve never had to ask anyone to help me with something related to it, so that was quite an easy choice for me to study after school.

I am working in web development since 2014, participated in many different projects starting with some e-commerce websites and ending with some fintech companies. I really enjoy working with the Backend, but also I can work on Frontend, except for styling (usually I just pick some boostrap lib if it’s up for me).

I really try to stick to all Clean Code policies whenever it’s possible and to use up-to-date technologies

Ways of working together

You can lean on me to

I can easily share all my knowledge about something and I also like pair programming.

How to support me as we work together

Just be straight-forward about everything with me. You think there is some issue? Just tell me. I’ve got to know that sometimes people around me think that I am a bit cold, but that’s not how I really feel

Schedule and availability

I am in Eastern European timezone (GMT+2). My regular working hours when I am at pc are from 9am till 6pm, and also could be back at pc after 9pm. I am available for chat in slack pretty much all the time, and I can even be available for meeting in other times, just confirm with me upfront
