CTO / VP Engineering / Ruby on Rails Architect

About me

From childhood fascination with physics and science fiction, I've dedicated my career to developing software products that transform future possibilities into present realities.
My journey began with early programming explorations that evolved into a professional path as a polyglot developer (using Ruby on Rails since 2006). Beyond professional pursuits, I'm an FPV drone pilot, sport shooter, and dog enthusiast.

Knowledge sharing comes naturally to me—I thrive in pair programming settings and have served as both a personal mentor and professional instructor in software development and functional programming. My enthusiasm and commitment tend to inspire those around me.
My customer-centric approach, problem-solving capabilities, and talent for empowering teams have enabled me to deliver value across multiple sectors including Logistics, Digital Health, Fintech, and E-Commerce.

My executive experience spans product and engineering. Combined with my commitment to continuous learning, these roles have equipped me to:

Build and scale products
- Develop product/tech visions, strategies, and roadmaps addressing customer challenges
- Design architecture with long-term vision while implementing code for immediate needs
- Transform innovative concepts and systems thinking into tangible value

Lead international teams of 5-50 specialists across data, design, engineering, and product
- Exemplify leadership that fosters autonomy, honesty, integrity, and empathy
- Remove obstacles enabling team members to perform optimally
- Reserve judgment while maintaining flexible but well-considered perspectives
- Generate excitement by articulating future possibilities

Cultivate relationships internally and externally
- Bridge technical and commercial communications to achieve alignment and engagement
- Drive change through consistent, persistent communication
- Make evidence-based decisions informed by experience and data
- Maintain composure under pressure to sustain forward momentum

I welcome opportunities to connect with new contacts, exchange ideas, and expand my knowledge. Feel free to reach out to discuss product development, technology, quantum mechanics interpretations, or FPV drone flying.
