I had the pleasure of working closely with Kirill for almost two and a half years on blockchain development. From day one, Kirill stood out with their exceptional skill in coding smart contracts. His technical acumen is truly impressive. Beyond their technical abilities, what really sets Kirill apart is their dedication and professionalism. Despite being on the other side of the globe, he is always punctual to meetings, has a keen eye for detail, ensuring every aspect of a task is thoroughly checked. Their ability to meet deadlines without compromising quality is something I admire greatly. On a personal note, Kirill is a fantastic team player, always willing to lend a hand and share their knowledge. Working with them has been a rewarding experience, and I genuinely look forward to the opportunity to collaborate again in the future.

Anyone who works with Kirill will describe him as intelligent, talented, and hard-working. I have had the pleasure of working with Kirill at Qbox for almost 2 years, and I can honestly say that I have never met anyone who can write as well, or as fast, as Kirill. As Content Director at Qbox, Kirill produced consistently high quality articles and tutorials, eBooks, website copy, and Kubernetes training. He has a gift simplifying confusing technical topics and producing quality content that ranks highly on Google. In fact, he is personally responsible for earning tens of thousands of visits to the Qbox and Supergiant websites, as well as generating high-quality sales leads
