6 years 6 employee devs own Webstudio
Clients from UK, Australia, Canada & Mexico
about 100k earned on Upwork (and former Odesk & Elance)

I am proud of making microdating service that people begin to like after about 4 iterations of my startup, but I undrestand that one should persist his/her goal  if it is a new product for the market. 
I have a habit to ask questions and be picky in term of which way to go before going there (=developing), but very often this method helped to save time.
2021 - till February 2023 - my latest position was a product manager for Hong Kong crypto exchange. 

Also have experience as an operations manager for U.S. real estate software company - 2021.

In between created and developed a mobile app for pet care market myself. 

Since October, 2019 co-founded & developed a web app for an ecostartup & arduino smartbin solution for plastic recycling.

I have run own webstudio of a team of 6 devs for 6 years and got major part of our projects on Upwork. I leaded each project from a stage of negotiations and estimate to the actual execution of client`s requirements and testing. Since I had a small team and rather complex development tasks - backends, loaded web apps, mobile APIs - I had to combine team leading, project management with sales, communication with clients and testing. 

Myself, I have php background since I had developed regional classifieds website - ria.ua or olx.ua analogue with sms / credit card activation for paid ads & backend for office staff for analytics, ads moderation & sales monitoring.

As a part of my development team I have been involved into database design, development processes but also UX/UI was all designed by myself. 

For the last 2 years I cofounded & develop several startups. The first one to mention is Time2Coffee - a dating microapp, that I built upon node.js/firebase using vue.js as frontend framework and also telegram /fb messenger chatbots. Another one is Loyalty bot - an analogue of loyalty card system, where customer can store and spend discounts in 'points' units. 
There`s also an experience in ICO as customer support service - that I undertook specially to discover this topic for myself and also as a cofounder of my own ICO - called I, My Way, in which I have designed and wrote white paper and assisted in development of yellow paper. The purpose of a project is to develop a distributed file blockchain network with checking and user nodes for storing family heritage & memories. Since this project is complex and not straight forward in a term of monetizing - it keeps going in a passive mode.
My personal mission is to be proud of my creation and build useful product for people and NOT just another app on a mass market.
Since most of my Upwork projects were startups, such as taxi app, cargo tracking, fall detection for elderly people, and now I am driven by passion to build something useful and new for people - I am interested in no-template or mass market projects. I wont discover all my potential by building another app for something people already have or another CRM or backend.
!First of all I am interested in building useful product. 
Potential niches: energy saving, medicine, gaming (since I have abstract thinking).
