Bio
Dmitry Shkaev
Honza is a great team lead, designer, and a person to work with. We had a little less than a year together on the same small team, and it was nothing but great the whole time. Honza was always there for us to help, support and drive forward the objectives, developing multiple big products across different brands, visual styles, and hardware platforms. Looking back on that, what a ride we had and how much fun it was! Thanks Honzo, you will always stay in my heart.

Jan is someone who makes you enjoy the work that you do. I worked with Jan on VPN applications building multiple features and doing a couple of redesigns. It was always a pleasure to work with him. He cares about user experience and creates high-quality work. At the same time, he could also focus on speed when needed. I appreciated that he took the time and had researched the platform he was designing for. Above all, he is just so easy to work with. He is professional and cares about the people who work with him. I enjoyed our discussions on design. I hope I will get a chance to work with Jan again, and if you have an opportunity to work with him, take it, and you won't regret it.

Jan is a strong design leader - both in terms of setting direction and helping to mentor and encourage those on his team. During our time together, his team's design work contributed to company record-setting revenue growth for the products in our privacy portfolio. His personal work is also timely and of the highest quality. Any company would be lucky to have him on board.
