About
Technology executive with 10+ years of building and scaling engineering organizations at the intersection of systems development, high-load infrastructure, enterprise storage (SDS/SAN) and robotics. Took products from R&D concept to commercial launch at Yandex, the ROSTEC consortium and Aerodisk, leading teams of 20+ engineers and owning architecture, an annual budget of up to ~$3M (P&L) and the strategy of the direction. I systematically turn engineering into measurable business outcomes: −45% operating costs, −35% time-to-market, 99.8% production uptime. Fluent with international standards (ISO, IEC, CE, UL) and comfortable communicating at the level of partners, customers and investors.
Signature achievements
- Built and led a cross-functional team of 28 software/hardware engineers with a ~$3M annual budget, establishing the engineering culture and processes that delivered 99.8% commercial product uptime.
- Designed the systems architecture of the Spectro/Dilectus platform and cut time-to-market by 35%, accelerating the company's entry into a new market.
- Re-engineered the automated logistics of Yandex Lavka and Market on in-house libraries and microservices — 45% operating-cost savings while volumes grew.
- Rebuilding Aerodisk's engineering team around new product challenges and tooling, growing middle-management leaders and reducing time-to-market for storage solutions.
