@artemastakhov
Generalist product and business development professional with a technical edge and sales success.
PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I'm a generalist with a technical edge who thrives in cross-functional teams, stress-proof and solution-oriented. Over six years in tech, I co-led product roadmaps for a cybersecurity startup and managed full web design project cycles.
I sold $1.2M+ in brand and frontend projects and closed $200K+ in deals for my partnerships, working with 25+ teams across fintech, edtech, web3, devtools, and cybersecurity.
At Deepengine I co-led the product roadmap, created the initial go-to-market strategy, and launched a market-ready vulnerability-scanning platform within one year while supporting lead generation, enterprise sales, and onboarding.
I co-founded brand and web studios (hellodani.co and danielsun.space), defined brand positioning and content strategies, and delivered end-to-end project ownership—from first contact through post-project support—helping SaaS teams gain world-class design and marketing presence.
