Ihor Hlubochenko

Ihor is hired to build and lead Pearl's newly established UI and front-end team, which will be based in Latvia. He has more than 15 years of experience in IT companies, including SAP and Accenture, and was responsible for building SAP's customer portal from scratch in Angular. Ihor is thus a perfect match for Pearl's new team, aiming to meet the customers' ever-increasing demands for front-end solutions.

"I chose to start in Pearl Latvia because of the company's reputation as highly-skilled professionals specializing in SAP technologies. Not least, I have been really looking forward to joining a pleasant work environment, created by people who are constantly improving themselves along with the company."

Dmitrijs Veliks

Dimitrijs is a new SAP senior consultant at Pearl Latvia. He has more than eight years of experience in IT and business consulting in multiple SAP areas and is a certified SAP Finance Professional. Among other things, he was responsible for preparing strategy, roadmap, design, business process blueprints, system landscape, and solution implementation for SAP Financial Accounting.

"I am very excited to join the largest SAP partner in Norway! I expect lots of good teamwork, knowledge sharing, and collaboration across projects, countries, and departments – and create new, exciting opportunities along the way."

Valters Knipšis

Valters has joined as an SAP Commerce Consultant and comes from a back-end developer position in a company that provided portfolio management. He has experience with, among others, Node JS, Vue, and WebSocket.

"I wanted to work in the Pearl Group because it received warm recommendations from a former classmate, who has worked here for three years. It is also a big plus that they are an SAP partner. I am happy to work here – so far, the work is challenging but rewarding."

Vitālijs Čistovskis

Vitālijs is also a new SAP Commerce consultant and was, until recently, the Head of Information Systems Unit in the Riga Technical University. He worked mainly with Java, supporting the university portal and developing Android applications.

"I was recommended by colleagues to check out Pearl Group. I love exploring new things and developing software, and I think this is a great place to grow and where I can develop new, exciting solutions."

Oļegs Bugrovs

Oļegs is employed as a junior consultant on the SAP Commerce team. He has experience as a freelance developer and as a full-stack developer in a small start-up company. Impressively, Oļegs has no higher education in coding – after having learned programming in primary school, he continued to learn on his own. According to him, he simply can't live without constantly learning new things.

"I chose Pearl Group because I have always wanted to work in a solid company that takes care of its employees and which gives them the opportunity to develop their careers further. I am very happy to be a part of the company."

Alise Alka

The second newly hired junior consultant on the SAP Commerce team is Alise. She is a software developer and has also started as an SAP Commerce junior consultant in Pearl Latvia. It hasn't been more than two and a half years since she became interested in programming, but this is already her second job as a software developer. She is currently immersing herself in Java and Spring and also developing her skills in web and mobile app development.

"I chose to start in Pearl Group because I heard such great recommendations of the company and how well they take care of their employees. In addition, I wanted to continue with coding and also learn more about the business side, and with SAP Commerce, I get both. I am very proud that Pearl Group hired me."

Amirali Količevs

Amirali – or Amir, as he calls himself – is the third new junior consultant to the SAP Commerce team. He is also a software developer, with Java as his primary language. For Amir, the best thing about programming is creating systems that can automate processes and improve and simplify people's work.

"Coding makes me a better problem solver, but it also teaches me patience, perseverance, and discipline. I am very happy that I got to join Pearl, and I am sure that it will help me continue to develop and grow professionally."

Dmitrijs Ļeonovs

Dmitrijs is the fourth new SAP Commerce Junior Consultant and the most recent addition to Pearl Latvia. He has two and a half years of experience in the IT industry and has worked on several major SAP projects, both as a technical SAP consultant in Clarity and as a junior SAP consultant for Accenture.

"Pearl Group is one of the few companies in Latvia that works with SAP Commerce, and they support their employees in their career development. I'm really happy that I was hired, and I can't wait to finally meet my new colleagues in person!
