At BrainRocket, I authored the Product Requirements Document for an online gaming platform spanning four games and a back-office system. I formalized requirements for seasonal initiatives and gamification features that drove a 17% increase in user engagement.

At Sberbank, I led development of a flexible A/B testing tool that increased experiments by 60%, and designed a Call Center platform migration that increased cross-sell by 30%. Across my work, I translate business needs into clear requirements and shippable backlogs, from discovery through UAT.
