- Led distributed engineering teams and delivery execution (SDLC, quality gates, release management) across core product initiatives; aligned stakeholders and engineering priorities. - Initiated and led the redesign of the core trade execution module → faster and more reliable execution; improved profitability; reduced incident frequency; cut time-to-status to ~30 min (from hours/days) via observability and incident response. - Delivered an AMM DEX based on PancakeSwap v3 → production-ready in 1 month (smart contracts, backend, frontend, infra; EVM chain; 4 developers). - Coordinated and remediated external security audits (Halborn, Hacken, BugBlow). - Drove product discovery with user interviews and data-informed prioritization to shape the roadmap and delivery scope. - Created the L-tokens concept → adopted as a major product line (tradable on-chain debt tokens representing off-chain, collateral-backed liabilities). - Oversaw treasury and liquidity operations, directing capital deployment to the company DEX via multisig-controlled processes. Additional products: Perp DEX with CEX hedging (electra.exchange); ve-governance with exponentially decaying vote power; staking & ecosystem rewards proportional to vote power; cross-chain swap protocol based on atomic swaps (HTLC); Technical and product consulting: fairlaunch launchpad.

AMM DEX; first DeFi product in Waves ecosystem based on smart contracts - Built and scaled swop.fi from MVP → team → production AMM DEX → $130M+ TVL peak, up to 13k MAU, 7,700 LPs, 32,000 traders, $2.35B cumulative volume since Feb 2022, $5.4M fees paid to LPs. - Owned product + technical strategy and roadmap; translated business goals into execution plans across engineering and product. - Managed a distributed Agile team (14 people) across frontend, backend, smart contracts, QA, DevOps, and analytics. - Shipped governance token plus staking/farming/boosting, designing and mathematically modeling the underlying incentive mechanics → enabled sustainable incentives and protocol growth. - Implemented multisig + tight permissions for contract/treasury operations → prevented unauthorized withdrawals during a security incident; safeguarded user liquidity & treasury (no user funds lost). - Ran product discovery and analytics loop (data collection/analysis → prioritization → iteration) and coordinated marketing launches with the team.

Waves: L1 blockchain (Leased Proof-of-Stake, smart contracts), launched 2016. Managing team of 30 people (developers, qa, devops, analysts, researchers, technical writers) • Development of the Waves blockchain protocol • Improving the capabilities of the smart contract language • Development of several protocol-related web applications for developers • Documentation portal Projects: • Waves blockchain protocol - L1 blockchain with own smart contract language • Blockchain explorer wavesexplorer.com, Online development environment (IDE) for smart-contracts waves-ide.com, Online invocation of smart-contract callable functions waves-dapp.com, API and Libraries for JS, Python, Java for interacting with the blockchain, Documentation portal Results/Achievements: • 4 major (with hard fork) Mainnet releases and 5 Testnet release of the blockchain protocol are smoothly launched and supported in all dependent products (total 50+ releases); • Expanded possibilities for using the blockchain, bringing smart-contract language to the new level and making possible the appearance of new products; • Prototyped and started new product - swop.fi; • Invented new web-application for simple smart-contract functions invocation without programming; • Fully recreated Documentation portal for developers.
