Junior Product Manager

I am an entry-level product-focused professional with a background in Software Engineering. I have experience building early-stage mobile products end-to-end and validating them through user research and usability testing. My education includes a Bachelor of Software Engineering from Tampere University of Applied Sciences and a Bachelor of Hospitality and Tourism Management.

During my internship as a Front-end Developer at Tampere University of Applied Sciences, I worked on front-end development for a web application, integrating Keycloak authentication, implementing real-time features using Socket.io, and deploying the app to the Pouta server. I collaborated closely with my team to deliver a working demo.

I have also gained project management experience by leading multiple student teams, coordinating deliverables, and ensuring milestones were met on schedule. I am proficient in managing project documentation and using tools like Jira for tracking.

My projects include developing a mobile app concept for youth athletes as part of my bachelor’s thesis, where I conducted user research through surveys and interviews, built interactive prototypes in Figma, defined user flows, wrote requirements and user stories, and planned usability testing.

I am fluent in English and Russian (my mother tongue), with good proficiency in Finnish. My technical skills include React, React Native, HTML/CSS, Node.js, JavaScript, MongoDB, MySQL, Git, and Jira. I am passionate about combining my technical and UX skills to create user-centered digital products.
