Praskovia Root

I'm leading a full-stack team of engineers at Acrolinx. After finishing Slavic studies at the State Moscow University, and working for some time as a language teacher and translator, I discovered a passion for engineering, and successfully accomplished studies of Computing Science and Business Administration at the University for Applied Sciences in Berlin. During my studies, along with working as front-end developer, I enjoyed helping my fellow students. After finishing the studies and starting to work full-time, I was onboarding and mentoring junior developers, and after some time was entrusted to lead and grow one of the engineering teams. I'm happy to help the people who are starting their career in tech, or changing from the technical expert to the managerial path to understand their own motivation, overcome the fears connected to a major career shift, and build a plan of actions, in order to achieve the desired result.
