«Good engineering makes the complex manageable: a release stops being an event, a rollback takes a second, and decisions are made on data rather than nerves. I build the infrastructure that lets teams move fast — and stop fearing production.»
For 7+ years I have designed and built web applications in fintech and banking — from high-load interfaces to platform tooling that other teams rely on every day. At Alfa-Bank I lead the feature-toggle direction: I own feature-management practice at bank scale, A/B testing and release engineering. Before that, at IT_One, I developed the Unleash platform as engineer and tech lead. I am equally at home on backend and frontend and take products from architecture to production.
Engineering
I architect and write code across the stack: backend on Node.js, interfaces on React and Vue, infrastructure and internal services. I especially enjoy platform work — tools used daily by dozens of other developers. I keep the focus on reliability, typing and testability.
Release engineering
I build the software-delivery process: feature toggles on Unleash, trunk-based development, CI/CD, gradual rollouts and A/B tests. The goal — that a team ships often and without fear, and any feature can be rolled back with a single switch, no redeploy.
Research & writing
Beyond code, I run applied research into the digital economy and write about feature flags and release engineering. I care about how delivery tooling changes the way teams make decisions — and that helps me design systems more deliberately.
I work where architecture, reliability and scale matter. At Alfa-Bank I lead the feature-toggle direction; at IT_One I developed the Unleash platform as engineer and tech lead. Earlier — the HSE portal for 40,000+ users and product development at Potok.io.
