I am an experienced Product Manager with more than 15 years of experience in the IT industry, working with products in blockchain, DeFi, and fintech services. Throughout my career, I’ve combined practical product management expertise, strong analytical skills, and a broad understanding of digital technologies. I have contributed to the development and growth of products at companies such as Primex.Finance and Hashing24, where I was responsible for defining product strategy, managing backlogs, prioritizing features, and coordinating cross-functional teams.

I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Systems and Network Security (State University of Information and Communication Technologies, 2010) and a Bachelor’s degree in Electronics Engineering (Kyiv Technical College of Radio Electronics, 2003). This academic background gives me a deep understanding of IT system architecture, information security, network technologies, and the principles behind modern digital solutions.

— Soft Skill Leadership Certificate, IT Grow Center (2021)
— Business Analysis Course, Hillel Computer School (2018)
— QA Manual Online Course (2016)
— Front-End Development Course, W3Schools (2016)

With experience across QA, business analysis, and product development, I collaborate effectively with developers, designers, analysts, QA engineers, and stakeholders at all levels. I’m skilled at building the product process from discovery to delivery, conducting market and user research, analyzing data, and creating long-term product roadmaps focused on sustainable growth and improved user experience.

My areas of specialization include:
— Product lifecycle management (PLC)
— Developing and optimizing user flows (UX flows)
— Data analysis, competitive research, and customer journey mapping (CJM)
— Working with cryptocurrency protocols and DeFi mechanics
— Writing clear requirements (user stories, acceptance criteria)
— Agile/Scrum workflows, release planning, and team coordination

I am highly results-driven and detail-oriented, with strong analytical thinking and the ability to balance business objectives with user needs. My multidisciplinary background allows me to build reliable, scalable, and competitive products in fast-changing Web3 and fintech environments.
