What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Staff Engineer role where I can apply my technical depth in frontend architecture and contribute to cross-functional projects, creating user-centered, high-performance applications aligned with business goals.

At HumanSignal, I improved audio visualization performance by 70% using WebAudio API and later FFMPEG+WASM. I also increased frontend test coverage by 40% and helped introduce a design system with design tokens.

I created an internal UI kit with Storybook at HumanSignal, cutting boilerplating by 20%. I manage and mentor frontend engineers and established development processes and best practices.

At Yandex, I created a proof of concept for WebVisor 2.0 that improved performance by 160%. I led the frontend engineering team in delivering its MVP in under six months, working closely with the infrastructure team.

As Co-Founder & CTO at Pickio, I developed frontend and backend infrastructure and created cross-platform mobile apps with Flutter. I also reduced AWS costs by 70% by optimizing image processing with AWS Lambda.
