Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPavel Skrylev is a Senior Software Engineer with nearly three decades of hands-on experience building and maintaining systems from embedded Linux and bootloaders to Ruby on Rails web applications and PostgreSQL-backed services. Currently at BaseALT, he combines backend expertise (Ruby/Rails, RPM packaging, configuration management) with a strong background in kernel and firmware development from earlier roles. Pavel practices TDD/BBD and QA tools like RSpec and Cucumber, and also works as a freelance web developer, vocal teacher, and folklorist, blending technical rigor with humanities scholarship. He holds a PhD in Optoelectronics and a master’s in Computer Systems, reflecting a career that spans research, low-level engineering, and product development. Based in Moscow, he brings rare cross-domain fluency—able to move between kernel-level code, infrastructure automation, and user-facing React interfaces. An interesting non-obvious facet: alongside software and research, he actively studies and teaches Slavic folkloristics and vocal performance, informing a human-centered perspective on engineering and education.
