Привет!

My name is Grisha. I was born in the USSR, grew up in Tashkent, Uzbekistan and got a chance to live in Russia for a few years. For nearly two decades Canada has been my home. Very lucky to live in the beautiful city of Vancouver.

Currently I work at Microsoft, building software that lets others create “communication experiences”.
I used spend most of my time working on Firefox, mostly on its Android version, Firefox Sync and other stuff. Building software at scale and with others is hard, so work remains a constantly humbling experience for me. I’m learning a lot about the craft, the world and myself.

A valley in the Scottish Highlands. It took me hours to find it after getting lost in dense fog as I was coming down from Ben Lui.
