Bio
Gaurav Khurana
I had the pleasure of working with Mikhail as my manager for 2 years at Lendinvest. Mikhail possesses an unmatched attention to detail. His meticulous approach has been instrumental in maintaining high standards across the team. One of Mikhail's most notable strengths is his proactive nature. He consistently anticipates potential challenges and takes steps to address them. This foresight has helped us to maintain smooth operations throughout our projects. When faced with complex problems, Mikhail demonstrates an exceptional ability to break them down into smaller, more manageable parts. This approach makes even the most daunting challenges seem less overwhelming and allows for a more focused and effective problem-solving process. He has got exceptional technical and system design skills, that has helped the team to build scalable solutions with complicated 3rd party integrations. Mikhail is also a master of stakeholder engagement. He actively seeks input from all involved parties and ensures that everyone is kept informed throughout the project lifecycle. This open communication has fostered a sense of collaboration and trust among stakeholders, leading to more successful project outcomes. He provides clear and constructive criticism that helps individuals identify areas for improvement and develop their skills. His guidance has been instrumental in my own professional growth, and I am incredibly grateful for his support. He would be an invaluable addition to any team.

Mikhail was my first Team Lead when I started at LendInvest. He is a great role model, leads by example, and gives helpful and balanced feedback. It was always clear that his goal is to grow his team members so that they can progress in their career. From the technical perspective, Mikhail is an expert in Domain Driven Design and Event-driven Architectures. He will always contribute to discussions, and is not afraid to go against the consensus. Mikhail will add a huge amount of value wherever he works.
