PASHA NAUMOV

SOFTWARE ENGINEER

I’m a full-stack engineer with experience in both early-stage startups and larger companies, bringing the best of both worlds: speed, ownership, and pragmatism paired with structure and scalability. I thrive in ambiguous environments, turning challenges into shipped products and laying the foundations for long-term growth. I believe in 10x teams over 10x individuals—sharing knowledge, collaborating closely, and multiplying impact. I’m motivated by building products end-to-end, taking responsibility not just for features but for outcomes.
