About

Professional summary

I am an IT delivery leader and project manager with around 11 years of experience in IT and approximately 8 years in IT management, primarily in banking and financial technology environments.

I lead distributed, cross-functional teams and specialize in recovering troubled projects, establishing transparent delivery processes, and improving release governance. I have managed teams of up to 100 specialists and leads.

My strengths include Scrum implementation, project turnaround, QA leadership, test-environment management, architecture planning, and building effective reporting and monitoring systems.

I use Jira, Confluence, Grafana, and SQL-based data platforms to connect documentation, dashboards, operational reporting, and delivery metrics. My work has improved release frequency, reduced production defects, and shortened time to market.

I also independently develop JM/JM2, focused on job-search automation and LLM workflows, and MP Cockpit, a marketplace analytics product that has reached partial external-business deployment.

I hold ISTQB Test Manager and Foundation Level certifications and communicate professionally in English at C1 level, with Russian as my native language.
