I build and scale products - employed and as a founder. At Tinkoff and EPAM I worked on live products at scale, owning product decisions and leading feature and platform teams. With my own startups, and as CPO of one, I took products from zero. I started in tech at 17, nine years ago - web development first, then product. Same job throughout: find where a product leaks, and move the number, not the feature list.
I run my own agent OS and ship with AI agents - which most product leaders still don't - on top of a real engineering background. That is the edge I bring to a product org.
I studied Computer Science at Voronezh State University.
I founded Unicorn Embassy and scaled it to 180+ events across 9 cities in 7 countries - Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Spain, Serbia, the UAE, Indonesia.
50+ pitch sessions, 6,000+ participants, zero paid acquisition. I ran it as a multi-country product launch: distribution before product, retention measured in the people who came back.
Open to a Head of Product / Technical Product Lead role in Europe - across the EU and remote. Also available for fractional product leadership and AI product advising.
