At EMCD, I owned engineering delivery across Coinhold, Wallet, Crypto Cards, EMCD Pay, Staking, On/Off Ramp, Onlock, Indesk, RWA, and the mobile app. I scaled the Earns portfolio from one product and four people to four products and 20+ specialists, reduced p85 Lead Time from 46 to 20 days, and launched a Staking MVP in three weeks.

Previously at Tinkoff, I grew a Business Lending engineering organization from 12 to 39 employees, led five autonomous teams, and reduced Lead Time from 40 to 15 days. I build delivery systems, technical architecture, leadership pipelines, and resilient teams across FinTech and Web3.
