Sergey Bush (Sergej Busch)

Gall’s law (updated): “A complex system (team plus codebase) that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.”

Summary

For 30 years, my own group of small IT companies are covering the full technological stack for our main customers in the Finance, Government and Utilities sectors. Since 2020 we are operating internationally. All these years we had to stay at the edge of innovation in IT architecture, business applications and development methodologies. I have successfully combined this activity with full-time employment at different banks (from smaller regional ones to the biggest private bank in Russia) for over 10 years.

I see myself as cross functional team builder and organizational transformer.
