Empowering Teams, Advancing Engineering

About

I build sophisticated engineering systems and develop high-performing teams. My career spans hands-on leadership of engineering teams up to 25 people, alongside shaping broader IT strategy for organizations with hundreds of technical staff. I’m passionate about creating robust platforms while mentoring the next generation of technical talent.

Education & Community Impact

The teaching side of my career includes mentoring over 500 students through Yandex Practicum, where I also authored the comprehensive “Project Manager in IT” curriculum. My time as Senior Lecturer at Ural Federal University strengthened my commitment to developing technical talent. Since the beginning of 2025, I’m coaching CTOs and Team Leads at Stratoplan Management School and also hosting a fresh new program - Technical Product Management.

Currently, I lead the Qazaqstan Community of Project Managers (meet-deadlines.kz) and frequently share knowledge. You can explore my speaking engagements here.

This blend of technical depth and leadership experience equips me to excel in Head or Director of Engineering roles, where I can continue building both systems and teams.

My values

These are the principles that I strongly adhere to:

  • Autonomy is key: Engineers and teams must have complete freedom to take charge of their work, leading to remarkable achievements.
  • Distributed authority is necessary: Prompt decision-making should be a shared responsibility and not restricted to one individual.
  • Our processes must be effortless: There should be no delays or queues, and we must always strive for perpetual improvement.
  • Team education and growth are my responsibility: I am dedicated to devising and discovering processes that promote continuous learning and personal productivity improvement for all engineers.
