/expertise

I connect the business problem, product, architecture, and execution.

My primary interest is a permanent CTO or Technology Director role. I am also open to focused advisory and working sessions. For a permanent role, see /hire-me.

PORTFOLIO · PRODUCT

Portfolio and product management

I translate business demand into a portfolio of initiatives, a roadmap, and a manageable backlog. I make priorities, constraints, outcome metrics, and decision rules explicit.

Experience: banking products, several cross-functional teams, and a 14-day average time to market for changes.

DELIVERY · OPERATING MODEL

Software delivery operating model

I build the full loop from demand and resource planning through development, testing, release, operations, and feedback. The process is adapted to the product and organizational constraints.

Experience: team formation, dependency and risk management, and taking a new product from development start to production in five months.

ARCHITECTURE · RISK

Architecture and technical risk

I review target architecture, integration, performance, reliability, and technical debt. I frame options in terms of business consequences and the cost of change.

Experience: real-time and batch systems, big data, event-driven architecture, and high-load banking environments.

TEAM · ORGANISATION

Teams and engineering organization

I design team structures and collaboration, hire key specialists, grow leaders, and establish clear accountability. I also build expert communities and knowledge-sharing practices.

Experience: several full-cycle teams; Tech Guilds with a core of 20+ experts and more than 1,000 cases reviewed.

AI · ENGINEERING

AI in engineering work

I use AI agents where they can accelerate preparation and execution without weakening control. Roles, artifacts, quality checks, and human accountability remain mandatory.

Personal R&D: LAF for managing several products and Dev Planning for planning the work of a large team.

TALK · WORKSHOP

Talks and working sessions

I speak about real-time systems, engineering leadership, data, and responsible AI-assisted delivery. I can also facilitate a focused case review with a team.

Speaking experience: Saint HighLoad++, Analyst Days, АиУП.
