About

I build systems where people and technology deliver measurable results

Over 16+ years in IT, fintech, banking and public-sector programmes, I have led IT functions, digital services, critical infrastructure, teams of 80+ people and budgets of up to RUB 2 billion.

I connect strategy, architecture, operations, product delivery and team development. My job is to turn a complex system into a manageable one—with clear priorities, ownership and measurable business impact.

Expertise

Core capabilities

I lead IT at strategy and business level while retaining enough technical depth to work with architecture, security, operations and engineering teams.

IT and operational effectiveness

  • Software delivery, operations, SLA, SLO, KPI and incident management
  • Turnarounds, technology audits and legacy modernisation

  • Product and project governance: goals, requirements, risks, roadmaps and acceptance
  • B2B, SaaS, payment and high-load digital services

Teams and partnerships

  • Building effective distributed teams and management layers
  • Ownership, mentoring, feedback and succession
  • Long-term relationships with clients, contractors and adjacent functions

Technology expertise

  • Information security, PCI DSS, redundancy and disaster recovery
  • PostgreSQL, ClickHouse and SQL; engineering foundations in PHP, Java, C#, C/C++, Go, HTML, CSS and JavaScript

Approach

Management principles

The principles I use to align teams, technology and responsibility for results.

Outcome before ritual

A process is valuable while it speeds up delivery and makes results predictable.

Authority with accountability

A team can own an outcome when it can influence how that outcome is achieved.

Reliability is designed

SLA, security, observability and recovery are built before an incident occurs.

Complexity must become clear

Metrics, priorities and management cadence turn chaos into a working system.

A strong team beats a hero

Sustainable outcomes come from capability, trust and succession—not manual control.

Experience

Career and results

A career path expressed through scope, industries and measurable outcomes, so the growth in responsibility remains clear without a catalogue of job titles and company names.
