Summary
I have 10+ years of experience in many fields of the IT industry: starting from software engineering — backend development, frontend development, DevOps; continuing with engineering management — project management, team leadership, process engineering. I’m developing myself to be a person who can build an IT department from the ground.
Last Experience
Technical Head of Business Unit
— Present
CIAN Group (Moscow, Russia)
After the organization changes — we were rearranged into cross-functional product teams — I decided to focus on management and took the role of team leader. I joined a team with 10+ people in it, several product owners, and project manager who was a proxy between the team and product owners. We had many issues: too many bugs, complaints about specification fullness and emptiness, moving deadlines.
I did successful reorganizations based on involvement, transparency, and autonomy. Nowadays, the business unit includes 30+ people and has several teams with dedicated product owners who communicate directly with team members. Each team has a kanban board that covers the whole process from discovery to post-analysis and covered with process metrics and SLA’s.
Besides, I participated in many other company activities and projects, like a/b experiments reengineering, defining the engineering grades, and improving analytics data collecting from the web.
Head of Frontend Engineering Team
— ,
CIAN Group (Moscow, Russia)
My goal was to build up the whole frontend in the company: choice and implement an architecture, participate in the hiring process, define the adaptation, motivation, and people growth processes, control and organize work of out-source stuff.
I built a microservice architecture of the frontend, created the first version of the continuous deployment system, and wrote a bunch of core libraries. Also, I successfully did several large projects such as moving to HTTPS, reengineering of the headline search form, optimizing the performance of the main page.
I was an engineering manager for the frontend engineers and used well-known technics like regular one-on-one meetings, personal development plans, teaching, and coaching. During this time, the team grew from 2 to 15+ frontend engineers.
Lead Software Engineer
— ,
Paintboller (Moscow, Russia)
I was responsible for the architecture, the development process, and features implementation in a small startup. Built a monolithic architecture from scratch based on Neo4j, GraphQL, React and Relay and open-sourced it. Developed the process using the BDD approach: we were writing requirements as Gherkin scenarios, each scenario had a GitHub issue and covered by functional tests. Hired, trained, and supervised other engineers.
