Current City: Saint Petersburg, Russia

Hometown: Kharkiv, Ukraine

Next up in our series is our Senior Mobile App Developer, Serj Nefodov. He stays up late at night making sure everything in our application works perfectly. During the day, he works with the whole team to channel all of their skills into the best application possible. We are not sure he sleeps.

Why did you choose to work with Rise Gardens?

I love this sphere in general and I like the products that we are making.

Tell us about your gardening experience.

I haven’t gardened but I’m in the process of getting my Rise Garden and looking forward to it.

How has Rise Gardens changed the way you eat?

Rise Gardens doesn’t ship to Russia yet but we are working to get me one and I’m looking forward to it.

What are you reading right now?

The Rise of the West by William H. McNeill; The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales by Oliver Sacks

Do you have any special secret talents?

(Serj wouldn’t disclose this but we’re guessing that it’s his ability to not sleep!)

How do you spend your free time?

I love to listen to history podcasts and do it very often. I love to walk, of course. I’m trying to learn to sing, but I would not say that I'm satisfied with results now. :)
