# Maxim Schepelin
Builds sustainable engineering teams by applying SRE principles to leadership.

## About

Maxim Schepelin guides the people who build large-scale products across gaming, e-commerce, and travel. He focuses on shaping healthy engineering cultures that deliver work at a sustainable pace.

As an engineering manager at Booking.com, he treats organizational structure like a production environment. He applies core Site Reliability Engineering concepts—like SLOs and error budgets—directly to leadership and team prioritization.

When he is not analyzing team dependencies, he claims to have finally figured out how to exit both Vim and Emacs.
