Technical leadership for automotive platforms
Backend architecture, engineering governance, technical-debt planning, hiring, and an active AI-assisted SDLC/PDLC pilot.
Role and outcomes →Engineering systems that survive real operations
I build the product, the platform, and the engineering system around it.
Tech Lead and staff-level backend/platform engineer working across distributed systems, delivery platforms, and technical leadership. I stay close to the code while building engineering practices that can scale.

Current work
Code, architecture, and the operating model.
My strongest work happens where product pressure, technical complexity, and organizational change meet. I combine hands-on engineering with explicit ownership of architecture, hiring, technical debt, and delivery practices.

Repository →The unusual advantage
Engineering informed by operations.
Before becoming a software engineer, I owned and operated businesses in logistics, supply, and trade — including complex deliveries to Russia's Far North.
That background changed how I see software. Architecture is an operating model. Reliability is a business property. Ownership, handoffs, lead time, and constraints matter as much in a codebase as they do in a supply chain.
I also hold an MBA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management from HSE University.
