Inna Kirkilevich
Director of Software Development
eBay Inc.
eBay is an American, multinational, e-commerce company based in San Jose, CA that allows users to buy or view items via retail sales through online marketplaces and websites in 190 markets worldwide. I am leading File based solutions and APIs that allows eBay sellers to manage their inventory and orders on eBay.
The most rewarding aspect about my work at eBay is an ability to make a difference in people lives, to help them to realize their dreams of owning a business, and to grow their business using tools and a platform that we provide.
I start my day with status meetings, decision-making, and providing focus and direction to my teams, while removing obstacles and allocating resources. I strategize on future work and negotiations that sometimes take place with other teams.
Upon receiving a BS in Computer Science, I joined semiconductor company writing software for Diagnostic Equipments using C++. Good problem solving skills, solid C++ experience, and a desire to learn more has lead me to eBay to develop tools for business sellers. As the industry and internet evolved, I evolved with it and learned new languages and technologies such as Java, APIs, server/client architecture, web services, etc. While growing technical skills, I also developed soft skills such as leadership, organization, and teamwork. I always was self-motivated and drove myself to adopt and learn new skills. As my skills grew, so did my career.
I would like to continue making positive differences in people's lives; inspire and motivate others, while making greater business impacts.
I enjoy the outdoors, love running and hiking, especially on the beach or in the California redwoods. I am a world traveler and take at least one international trip a year.
