What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering or R&D leadership roles where I can lead full-stack teams, drive architecture and delivery, and scale products in collaborative, growth-focused companies.

I am a senior full-stack web engineer and R&D leader with extensive experience building scalable backend and frontend systems for startup and enterprise environments.

I have led teams from 7 to 25 engineers, acted as VP RnD and co-founder, and contributed to products that achieved significant commercial impact, including a product with $30M ARR.

My hands-on technical work spans Python (Django, Flask, Tornado), JavaScript frameworks (React, Vue, Nuxt, Meteor) and cloud-native deployments (Docker, Kubernetes), with a history of rewriting legacy systems and delivering robust production solutions.

I combine technical expertise with process leadership — Scrum master experience, building R&D procedures, managing outsourced teams, and driving cross-functional collaboration to deliver results.
