@mariaczapkowska
I manage end-to-end projects, budgets, teams, and cross-functional delivery in complex environments.
What I'm looking for
At Registrų Centras, I manage multiple projects from planning and resource coordination through execution and long-term maintenance. I oversee internal teams and external contractors, manage budgets, analyze markets, and anticipate risks.
I previously coordinated a 50-member community at Women4Cyber Lithuania and led planning for Cyber Piknikas, a cybersecurity conference attended by 80–100 participants. I built and led a five-person team while supporting member interviews and onboarding.
My technical background includes incident response and process automation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Lithuania. As a junior Python developer, I automated reports, built business-process tools, and developed video and image-processing pipelines.
I also lead volunteer guide teams for Open House Vilnius, preparing schedules, resolving issues, and connecting volunteers with organizers. I bring practical experience in team coordination, stakeholder communication, and delivering work from idea to operation.
