What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build B2B SaaS, platform, automation, or fintech products where I can turn customer problems into clear roadmaps, MVPs, and measurable value while aligning business, marketing, users, and engineering.

I'm building YagaSuzy, a no-code platform for visual automation of business processes for SMM teams, taking it from research and design through launch.

At SBERKORUS, I shaped investor portal and LMS initiatives into delivery plans, user stories, technical requirements, and release priorities. I launched a visual content builder that let marketing teams publish pages without engineering support, completed a critical infrastructure migration in one week rather than three months, and maintained 100% product stability over three years.

At Buzzaar, I led development and delivery for a CRM analytics and brand testing platform, introducing automated reporting, Jira Flow, and CI/CD to improve metric visibility and release predictability.

My background includes high-load backend development at Timepad / 8bit Group and founding digital businesses and products. I've launched an MVP dating product, acquired 300+ customers during validation, run experiments on retention and monetization, and translate customer pain points into roadmaps, backlogs, and measurable product value.
