Experience: 11 years | English: fluent

Through my career, I've built a number of R&D organizations, including hiring people, establishing the right culture, setting up development environments and defining processes supporting efficient operation.
Successfully completed a handful of IT projects ranging from small web-sites to big enterprise systems, from a few man-weeks to a couple of man-years.
My favorite one emerged from an idea that I've presented and led towards implementation, and which saves the business a few million euros a year to this day.
Hello and welcome to my profile.
If you're looking for a technical leader to guide your client's organization through a digital transformation journey, then we may become a good fit for each other.
I have more than 12 years of experience in IT industry in Ukraine and abroad, both as a technical expert and as a manager. During the time I've built, reorganized and led a number of cross-cultural teams. Together we created and transformed a range of diverse IT systems.
My technical background is mainly focused on Microsoft stack of technologies in an enterprise. It involves a full-stack development in .NET and Angular; running standardized and custom DevOps in a range of popular CI/CD tools; and hosting solutions on premise, on top of Microsoft platforms and in Azure cloud.
My project management experience primarily follows Agile trends (Scrum, Kanban, RUP), leaning towards Waterfall approaches for a long-term planning.
Technology is my passion, so I'm looking for a technical manager role.
Ideally I will be responsible for defining an organization IT strategy, building the right team around, and then together developing IT systems to support ever-changing business demands.
Through my work I empower my colleagues to achieve their best; believe in attitude of ownership and responsibility; cheer internal entrepreneurship; encourage colleagues to experiment and learn from own mistakes. And I hope the company will share my values.

- Built a high-load system distributed in 5 different data centers across the globe from scratch
- Built different content projects from zero to profitable business
- Built an email marketing system from scratch
- Built many other systems in the fields of marketing, e-commerce
For the last 15 years, I mostly occupied positions of CTO, VP Engineering, or Software Architect in different types of companies from outsourcing to product startups.

My key advantage is a strong understanding of business needs as I myself started a couple of startups. I understand that the technical part of the project must first of all serve its business goals.

Also, I always concentrate on the team, as I believe that we need A-class players to build an A-class product. 

Speaking about technologies, I used a lot of them. Started with Basic, Pascal/Delphi long ago, through PHP to .Net Core/WebApi, and mobile development with React Native. As storage, I used MySql, MSSql, and different NoSql platforms like Elasticsearch, Cassandra, etc.
I always select the technology stack depending on the business goals and the team's abilities.
In my latest project, I use different AWS services like AWS RDS, SES, SNS, CloudFront, and many more, .Net Core as backend and React Native app written with a low-code tool Draftbit as frontend.

Despite my vast experience with many technologies, I always try to stay up to date with new and modern things and implement them if the project benefits from them.

I prefer to work on a globally oriented project, no matter outsourcing or a product startup.
So, if you need a CTO who speaks the business language, then it could be the match :)
