My background is in software engineering and cloud infrastructure. I started my career back in 2010, a few years before graduating from one of the leading tech universities in Russia. My journey included roles in banks, early-stage startups, R&D, IoT, e-Commerce, and edTech. I had an opportunity to build teams, establish processes, and lead product development and cloud infrastructure efforts.
In 2022 I realized I have more impact and produce more value to my clients as an independent professional. I have started a new chapter in my life and career.
I enjoy diving into the unknown, delivering valuable insights, and driving the progress. I believe there is no technical challenge that can't be solved (though the solution is not always technical).
Outside of work, I love spending time with my loved ones, surfing the waves, and enjoying nature.
