Position: Product manager, Producer
Category: Product Manager
Experience: 11 years | English: fluent

I specialize in increasing the efficiency of remote teams. After COVID, this format of work has become the most common, and I have focused my practical knowledge of each stage of development on building trust within teams.
My meticulous and perfectionist approach is quite demanding, so in order to have these rules accepted by the team, I practice three key rules: respect, transparent encouragement of efficiency (because that's why we're all here) and my detailed expertise.
5 years of work as a game designer and 7 years in the roles of Producer or PM, controlling teams of 150+ specialists and successful products that were fully in my responsibility - give me the opportunity to speak with the team in the same language.

With a big Game-designer experience in previous years, i have gained an in-depth understanding of what it takes to make a successful development team. Additionally, my experience as a Product Manager, responsible for overseeing every aspect of a project, including some quite successful cases, demonstrates my skillset and sense of responsibility.

My work on the highly-anticipated STALKER2 project at GSC further highlights my growth in competencies. I have also worked on multiple side projects, which have allowed me to expand my knowledge and skillset even further.

Overall, my extensive experience and passion for the industry make me confident in my ability to contribute meaningfully to any project. I am eager to continue growing and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in game development.
