At Yandex, I ran the mentor-student project platform on Yandex LMS for 100+ mentors and 280+ students, raising project completion from 60% to 90%.

I also worked with the development team to turn student selection into an LMS tool for 110+ projects and 1,300+ students, removing roughly 50 hours of manual administration a week.

At OpiniQ, I took a company-wide HRIS to production and supported adoption with guides, Q&A sessions and a support chat. I also digitized 10+ HR processes in Jira and co-authored a process-implementation playbook.

Alongside full-time roles, I run an independent talent-matching practice, connecting people in my network with suitable roles and companies with hard-to-find candidates. I started with marketing roles and now mostly match analysts, ML and DevOps specialists.
