My expertise spans diverse domains such as aviation, fintech, and medical devices, allowing me to deliver high-quality solutions tailored to specific industry needs.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led teams of up to 70 members, driving organizational transformation and fostering a culture of quality and innovation. At UULA, I developed a custom Python-based Jira dashboard that enhanced performance management and visibility across development metrics. My strategic leadership has resulted in significant productivity increases and improved collaboration. I am passionate about leveraging technology to create impactful solutions, as demonstrated by my work with Air Iveria and Assaia, where I architected comprehensive technology ecosystems and drove product innovation.

My commitment to talent development and optimization has been pivotal in retaining high-performing teams and aligning individual growth with organizational goals.
