At Global CFD/FX Broker, I manage payment integration projects from requirements gathering through post-implementation review. I’ve helped implement payment systems and improve transaction reliability, including automating failed-transaction resolution to reduce processing time by 9 hours.

I also increased automatic payout transactions by 15% through workflow and integration improvements. As an Automation Specialist at Global CFD/FX Broker, I led a CRM replacement that saved 583 hours in deposit processing and helped raise Tier 1 payout automation from 53% to 68%.

My earlier work at Global CFD/FX Broker included financial operations, payment-system testing, and operational control. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Information Technology from Saint Petersburg State University and use tools including Jira, Confluence, and Claude to coordinate and document project work.
