Speaking of projects as achievements, below are a couple of notable mentions I could share.

1. Large healthcare project

I managed and supported a single healthcare project, based on Ruby, JS + outsourcing Raspberry PI and Arduino development to a 3d-party hardware team.

My tasks as a project manager included:
- Managing the project according to the Agile Scrum methodology, then Waterfall: regular stand-ups with the CEO of the company, composing a backlog, prioritization, distribution of tasks in a team (3-4 people), performance control, deadlines control, and backlog grooming.
- Assistance in research of various issues, in particular neural networks, bots, and user-friendly UI for voice and animated patient assistant robots (Amazon Lex, IBM Watson, Google TTS).
- Help drafting and writing 501(k) pre-sub for Food and Drug Association (USA) in order to obtain pre-certification of the product (software components (cloud platform, Android custom platform), hardware components (ECG sensor)).

2. Blockchain video platform

The project was, to be frank, largely experimental. The client wanted to, eventually, create a distributed, blockchain-based Youtube-like platform with the ability to mine and earn platform-specific coins by platform users (nodes) that would play different roles there: storage nodes, transcoding nodes, streaming nodes, etc.

As a project manager, I:
- Initiated the discovery phase and R&D phase together with the blockchain development team (Java, C++, Solidity), worked through various tech nuances (like combining Proofs to work out a combination that would do the thing) together with the team to come up with a compromise solution considering very specific, technologically complex needs of the client.
- Composed the backlog, estimations, roadmap, and a general plan for development, considering the volatile nature of the project.
- Participated in all technical and planning meetings with the client, settled arguments, and made sure the client and my team reach a consensus on complex issues the project entailed.
I've been working as a project manager and coordinator for 8 years so far. Starting my career in 2014, I've been broadening my knowledge, enhancing my skills, and gaining experience in outstaffing and outsourcing companies.

On average, I managed 2 middle-sized project teams (~5 people) or single larger-scale projects with ~10 members. Also, managed multiple one-man projects (>10 people) when not involved in bigger projects and teams. I worked with both web and mobile projects.

The domains I worked with included: healthcare, neural nets, social media, blockchain, e-sports, marketing/advertising (PaaS), and geo-tracking.

I also have experience assisting my teams and companies I worked for as a lead generator, sales manager, business analyst, manual QA, product manager, and project coordinator.

At this point, I'm keen on ongoing skills development, gaining new experiences and knowledge to grow professionally, and broadening the scope of possibilities for myself.
I want to improve my skills, and knowledge, and gain new experience as a Project Manager. However, I don’t want to limit myself by the role/position, thus I would like to evolve in the management field as a whole, specifically, I'm interested in the role of a Product Manager.

Still, I wouldn't want to work as a Sales Manager, or Lead Generator, or occupy any position in the Sales management domain, however, I'm ok with assisting the sales team throughout a project lifecycle.
