As a child, Davis used to believe that the past was colourless, because of old pictures and TV features being black & white. Now he’s a web developer, currently a dedicated one on the Magento 2 Topankovo project. When it comes to programming, Davis is a true polyglot with experience by the handful, and his diverse knowledge is often applied to projects at their infancy and maturity — whenever an extra pair of hands is needed the most.

Born and raised in Riga, Damirs is a developer and an indispensable part of the Scandiweb team since August 2013. Damirs is a one-man army. Currently, the sole developer tied to a big project, he’s using his multifaceted skill-set, doing everything imaginable that is related to coding. When prompted for his most valuable skill for working at Scandiweb, he does not mention the knowledge he acquired in his computer science BA studies, nor the extensive technical experience he has, having worked on numerous projects; Damirs emphasizes communication.

Damirs is an active man — running, cycling, playing football, volleyball. He has surprised himself by running a marathon — something he previously thought impossible. Taking things even further, Damirs has set his sights on conquering the highest peak in the world — Mt. Everest. The only thing standing in his way — his acrophobia. Despite considerable physical and professional achievements, the thing he considers himself best at is being a family man.

Originally drawn to Scandiweb because of technology and opportunity, he now highlights the relationships with his coworkers as the best thing about Scandiweb. And the ping-pong table, of course.

As a child, Vadims thought he had a better grasp of the English language than he actually did, being certain that U is always pronounced as [ʌ], C as [k], A as [e], etc. So at the age of 4, Vadims and his brother proudly made a sign for their own “CURUTA” dojo — can you figure out what they meant to write? Now Vadims is a designer at Scandiweb and his responsibilities revolve primarily around video production and post-production, however, his gift for text document design is also employed at every opportunity on everything from booklets, to one-pagers to entire whitepapers! A knack for brainstorming and visual script writing are what help Vadims in his day-to-day work and these highly-developed skills of his have been polished and perfected through extensive trial & error.

Cycling; attending concerts of lesser-known underground groups; bouldering; skiing; quiz/intellectual games; board-games, favourites being Game of Thrones, Small World, Dracula, Catan, among others and; video-games, such as Borderlands and Europa Universalis — Vadims’ many interests come from constantly challenging himself to try something new and daring himself to give everything a chance!

When prompted about his favourite aspects of Scandiweb, Vadims replies concisely — the spirit of informality and the freedom of minds!

Keeping things light is a necessary skill when providing guidance for as many people as Rolands and balancing work and fun for the team and sometimes himself is what helps maintain great morale and a clear direction. Rolands’ own positive outlook, stress resistance and enviable ability for long-term multitasking are what help him excel in his duties!
