About

Two weeks after my 11th birthday, sales of the first generation iPhone began. That day was a turning point not only for thousands of people around the world, but also for me. I realized how important it was to create something new, changing not only people, but the whole world. It was a key moment in my youth and it shaped my purpose in life: to create better products for people. Today, I am a product owner in an US company that creates innovative products for a wide audience. Continuous improvement of my skills and openness to everything new allows me to change people's lives for the better. I can easily create a product from scratch by developing prototypes and conducting market or user research, and then lead the development and launch the MVP of the product and improve it based on metrics, operational objectives and user feedback. My expertise includes: ✦ Product Management: Develop, launch and scale new products (B2B, B2C). Productivity expert. Adopter of collaboration tools and transparent KPIs and OKRs. Use JTBD, CJM, Customer Development etc. Development - Scrum, Kanban. Stories of the user (creation and administration) ✦ People Management: Supervised development teams of up to 24 people at a time (product and project managers, back/front/full stack/mob developers, UX/UI designers, QA) ✦ Go-to-market strategy & change management: Form a long-term and short-term product development strategy and a roadmap to increase its value ✦ R&D: Make only data-driven decisions, write Python code, SQL queries. Build a unique system of metrics for each product ✦ WEB3: Understanding and knowledge of blockchain. Develop, launch and scale GameFi product Good with tools: ★ Analytics & Marketing: Google Analytics, Amplitude, Firebase, AppsFlyer, Appmetrika, YandexMetrika, Google Optimize, PowerBI ★ Design: Figma, Balsamiq, Axure ★ Productivity: Jira, Confluence, Notion, Slack, Miro ★ Technical: SQL, Python, ArchiMate Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner
