Natalia Stus

I've built products from scratch and improved large-scale platforms across Tsikot, Blockscout, and Auto.ru at Yandex. My work spans frontend, backend, infrastructure, AI, and product engineering.

At Tsikot, I serve as the sole technical owner for a vehicle marketplace, designing its architecture, database, APIs, frontend platform, content system, search logic, admin panel, monitoring, and deployment. I also built an AI-powered chatbot using MCP and the OpenAI API to support structured search, custom UI widgets, and lead generation.

At Blockscout, I co-designed and built a modern, customizable blockchain explorer frontend from scratch and rewrote the transaction interpreter into a maintainable TypeScript codebase. I established testing and CI/CD practices, researched DeFi protocols, and contributed to technical and release decisions across teams.

At Auto.ru, I moved from QA into frontend engineering and team leadership, improving testing, performance, web vitals, release processes, and team effectiveness. I also spoke at conferences about frontend testing and performance practices.
