VadimTemkin

I am Quality Engineering Manager @ Sun Microsystems.

I was a happy and successful engineer until I attended PSL in the Spring of 2000. My only reason for attending it was that my then manager and few other people around me were PSL graduates and were using PSL-speak. So I was a reluctant participant of the initial sessions, and was telling everybody that I can't learn anything at PSL. Little did I know.

Soon after returning from PSL I realized that I actually enjoy managing people and finally accepted a manager position. And now I am overworked, overstressed, and underappreciated manager. But I love what I do (most of the time), my engineers, my peers, and my bosses like and respect me (though my boss, DebbieBallin, will be there at AYE, and might tell you otherwise).

You can find more about me on my ancient personal webpage http://www.vmt.com/

Welcome, Vadim. You really should update your web page. You can't really still be as handsome as the last time we met. I'm going to see if I recognize you in two weeks. I'm sorry if I disrupted your life, but that's what I do for a living. - JerryWeinberg 2003.10.24

Jerry, for you I put my recent picture here. As for disruption - my life is full of those, I embrace them, and this one wasn't the worst :-)

Ah, Vadim. Thanks, but what good did it do? You're still as handsome as ever - even more, with that mature look, and better trimmed. And so thoughtful, too. - JerryWeinberg 2003.10.27

Actually it is a really good picture.
