Meet Slava
For the past 15 years I’ve been building things on the web.
Some of them are free, some of them are paid. I love the process and the end-result.
Currently Product Lead at Awesome Motive.
Previous titles in various companies:
- Development/Engineering Manager
- Team Lead
- Senior Developer
- Software Engineer
I pay a lot of attention to code quality and readability. I spend an immense amount of time reviewing other people code, providing feedback and leveling up the overall project code quality.
I enjoy testing and finding issues in the software I use.

Other Projects
Some of them I created, and in others I contributed my time and knowledge in testing, reviewing, fixing, enhancing, leading…
The list is long, so I’m showcasing only some of them.
I’ve been working with BuddyPress since 2008 and I translate it into Russian as part of an official Russian WordPress products localization team. I was also the BuddyPress 2.8.0 Release Lead.
Since 2015 I’m a consultant and Engineering Manager at Jewelrythis.com.
In 2017 I started working for Awesome Motive. I was actively involved in WPForms and WP Mail SMTP plugins development, on various stages (from developer to Dev Manager). I also participate in various other private projects.
I love contributing to the WordPress ecosystem, and spent countless hours on volunteer work in various projects.
I got commit access to CMB2 in 2018 and was helping to fix various bugs or provide valuable improvements and new features to this incredible library, that allows you to create custom fields for pretty much anything: users, CPTs, plugins, themes, options, etc.
I also have some publicly available plugins on WP.org and hundreds of custom. I’m the author of the first and the only BuddyPress-specific blog in Russian: CosyDale.com. There I share news, hacks, my knowledge, and ideas with the audience – all about BuddyPress (mostly).
On this site, Ovirium.com, I write about my observations, experience, thoughts, tools, and processes – whatever is a part of my daily activity as a developer, project manager, or team lead.
