What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a hands-on project or product role where I can coordinate cross-functional teams, improve execution processes, work closely with web and product teams, and use AI tools to deliver measurable results quickly.

At Yandex Eats, I coordinated a 60-person cross-functional team across Engineering, Design, Analytics, and Operations. I helped deliver a redesigned onboarding flow that increased conversion by 5% and an incentive model that reduced CPO by 10% and CAC by 9%.

I build practical execution systems: clear ownership, deadlines, project plans, status reporting, risk resolution, and efficient resource allocation. I also created self-service FAQ and support automation that reduced manual support tickets by 20% and improved SLA by 4%.

I've launched products from zero to live at an AI startup, opened Smartbrain.io's first German-market accounts, and built an AI-powered call-center analytics dashboard solo in three days. I work hands-on with web and product teams in Agile environments and use AI tools daily to move quickly from scope to working results.
