I build resilient value streams through Agile coaching, delivery leadership, and organizational design.
What I'm looking for
At TEMABIT, I reorganize fragmented product and engineering teams into value-driven streams, scaling synchronization across up to 12 teams. I built an Agile Coaching team of three, launched long-term Product Increments, and facilitate strategic alignment for business domains and C-level stakeholders.
I've led Agile delivery, Scrum, and organizational change across MEV, Petcube, 90POE, Luxoft, PUMB, Huawei, and Ukrtelecom. My engineering background helps me design transparent, predictable systems for product delivery, cross-team dependencies, IT processes, and network operations.
I also create practical, adult-learning-based leadership programs, including Leadership in a Coaching Style and Burnout-Free Manager. Whether I'm shaping organizations, training Product Owners, or designing smart-home and architectural systems, I focus on environments that run efficiently, autonomously, and adaptively.
