Senior Engineering Manager for the Time Planning domain, owning planning tools (work schedules, shifts) used by thousands of companies. Led a cross-functional team of 6 mid-to-senior full-stack engineers, PM, and Designer. Key achievements: - Turned around a chaotic and demotivated team with no delivery predictability and a constant “everything is urgent” mindset by introducing clear prioritization, operating agreements, and focus-driven ways of working, cutting meeting time by ~50% and restoring engagement. - Eliminated chronic quarterly spillovers: stabilized a high-risk Q3 and planned/delivered Q4 with zero spillovers, restoring trust in roadmap commitments. - Established delivery predictability from scratch by stabilizing flow and task sizing, reducing cycle time from unmeasurable to a consistent 2–3 days per task, enabling reliable forecasting. - Introduced structured release planning and quality gates, reducing follow-up bugs and reversing a previously negative customer satisfaction trend. - Removed "firefighting" within 3 months by redesigning bug intake and ownership, shifting from bugs arriving faster than resolution to resolution outpacing inflow. - Built strong individual growth paths through coaching and 1:1s, enabling one engineer to grow from Mid 1 to Mid 3 within a single quarter and significantly improving team morale. - Led the AI Agent “pathfinder” initiative across 3 teams, delivering a PoC and internal documentation within 2 weeks and unblocking company-wide AI adoption. - Acted as technical leader in a stack without dedicated architects (Ruby, React, GraphQL, MySQL), contributing to solution design and mentoring engineers despite no prior Ruby/React experience.

- Led the Supply Team taking ownership of an internal tool for partner integrations and their product setup on the platform. - Grew the team from 0 to 6 engineers, increasing productivity through Agile best practices and tailored process optimizations. - Acted as Engineering Manager and Product Owner simultaneously for 10 months, slashing business bottlenecks through stakeholder alignment. - Spearheaded the migration of a monolithic internal tool to a microservices architecture, boosting scalability and reducing latency. - Designed and led a product listing system with PostgreSQL/MongoDB data model refactoring, product versioning strategy, and AWS SQS event-driven communication, cutting data publishing latency and consistency. - Led a technical debt reduction initiative, refactoring legacy code and improving code quality metrics and delivery efficiency. - Drove cross-team collaboration, aligning platform-wide changes with multiple stakeholders. - Built a high-performing engineering team by leading hiring, coaching, and mentoring initiatives. - Completed leadership and facilitation trainings, including (but not limited to): * High Performance Collaboration: Leadership, Teamwork, and Negotiation * Coaching * Art of Facilitation * Presentation Workshop

- Quickly recognized for technical and leadership potential, transitioning to EM Associate role with increasing managerial responsibilities. - Introduced Agile workflows, shortening development cycles and boosting delivery speed. - Hired, coached and mentored new developers to strengthen the team. - Collaborated with product managers and cross-functional teams to prioritize features and align development with business goals. - Led the decoupling of a customer support tool from a monolith using CQRS and DDD, improving scalability and development speed. - Designed a RESTful API that enabled integrations for platform services, boosting customer support tool evolution. - Implemented a monitoring system with proactive alerting, enhancing system reliability and performance by identifying and addressing potential issues early.

Software engineering in e-commerce industry. Some of notable projects delivered by our team: * Kubernetes cluster - how to build, maintain and efficiently use multi-node Kubernetes cluster * Acceptance testing scalability - how to run 1000+ hours of tests every day * Continuous delivery automation - how to build, test and deploy in 15 minutes (including 10 hours long acceptance testing suite which runs in just 6-8 minutes) * Continuous delivery scalability - how to deliver code changes with the same speed even when there are 10x more developers or 10x more tests * Monitoring and alerting automation - how to stop wasting time on manual monitoring and never miss critical issue because of human errors * Transition from monolithic applications to service oriented architecture
