Andrey Evsyukov
PHP Team Leader
The Team Leader of our city PHP team is a young, promising and talented asset, who quickly walked up the career ladder. Andrey came to Sibers at the beginning of 2007 when he was just 19. His initial position of a Junior PHP Developer in a year changed to a Senior Developer thanks to his excellent development skills and creativity. That's why when Sibers opened its new development office in the center of Novosibirsk, Andrey was chosen for the position of PHP Team Leader in the new office. His certain achievement is building up a good team of developers just from scratch. Under his supervision the team keeps the high level of development and improves it by taking part in certifications and thus proving our status at the international level. Andrey has passed an exam in the middle of 2008 and is now a Zend Certified Engineer. Another passion of this young PHP guru is playing guitar – he plays bass in a band named "At the Dark Ocean", melodic death metal.
