For employers
I manage enterprise architecture and IT governance at Kuper: 180+ information systems, 60+ business products, and a team of solution architects. In 2025–2026 I migrated the company from Yandex.Cloud to Cloud.ru: I organized ~600 participants and delivered on time, without incidents. Before that, I led a unit of platform and product teams: prepared SberMarket for peak loads, ran the technical side of the Kuper rebrand overnight, and cut cart TCO tenfold.
Companies come to me when they need to build an architecture function from scratch, design an IT landscape, shape an IT strategy, bring technical debt under control, or fix a struggling project: set goals (SMART), develop and present initiatives, organize teams and transparent delivery processes, define functional and non-functional requirements, design system architecture, evaluate reliability and performance, and estimate capacity for future growth. I manage IT finance (intangible assets), the project portfolio, and requirements. I adopt AI practices: I automated architecture decision reviews and work with AI-PDLC and LLMOps.
In projects, I track delivery speed (Lead Time) and predictability from the moment commitments are made. I prefer automating routine tasks to avoid doing the same work twice. I make systems observable and high-quality, capturing agreements in SLO/SLA. I pay attention to technical debt, striking a balance between product and engineering.
I write technical documentation and organize the company’s knowledge base. I create diagrams, charts, reports, and instructions — I believe every task deserves its own tool.
With teams, I set and validate goals (OKR, KPI) and own the budget. I run technical interviews, hire and fire, assess and analyze (SWOT, FMEA), prioritize (RICE, EV), delegate and control, and define roles explicitly (RACI, DACI).
I develop teams (TMM, individual development plans, competency matrices, 360 feedback) and watch their health, motivate members, help newcomers with onboarding, and resolve conflicts. I negotiate with customers, gather requirements, and explain and argue for the solutions I propose.
I use agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) for planning under uncertainty and GTD for personal task management. I deliver on time, follow the concept of immutable deadlines, and finish what I start.
In crises, I follow the principles of Extreme Ownership. I lead incident resolution, run retrospectives, write post-mortems, and investigate root causes so failures don’t repeat. I prefer improving processes over blaming people.
I believe you can’t improve what you can’t measure — but I always weigh the numbers against common sense.
I grow DevRel: organize meetups and events, help build the IT brand, speak at conferences and meetups (in Russian), and organize activities for Ontico conferences (HighLoad++, DevOpsConf). I write and speak Russian, English (C1), and German (B2).
