about me

Hey, I’m Mikhail! I’m currently working at Lyft as a Firmware Engineer on the Bikes and Scooters team, however I spent my first two years building a multimodal routing engine. Previously I worked on malicious ad-blocking solutions at AdLightning – now Boltive – and had a 3-year stint at Microsoft.

My undergraduate alma mater is the real UW (even though they don’t have the domain), however I also have a M.S. in Computer Science from the other UW as I have been living in Seattle, WA for the past 7 years.

Aside from mashing buttons on my computer, I enjoy tinkering with engines, flying planes, DIY projects, and cooking.

My Github alias is kail which is what my friends call me, but everywhere else you can probably find me via the skobovm alias (e.g. email).
