I have visionary experience in leading the development of software platforms, guiding projects from defining product goals, backlogs, and architecture to managing delivery teams for successful production rollouts. My extensive expertise spans Digital Retail, Workforce Planning and Management, International Mobility, and B2B Supply Chain.
I am an experienced people manager and have mentored dozens of senior engineers and leaders, some of whom have risen to the positions of Director of Technology and Senior Project Manager. Originally from Belarus, I have lived in India, Georgia, Poland, and have built the successful international teams from Slavic countries, India, APAC, Europe, and the US.
Despite my leadership roles, I remain a hands-on engineer. I actively participate in architectural meetings for my projects, presales and also engage in my personal pet projects.
