Key Achievements:
- Own the technology function of the Izde.Online platform: IT budget, hiring, product strategy and communication with investors; took part in raising investment rounds. Wrote code only at the start, since then focused on leadership and architecture decisions.
- Led a team of 20 and restructured it into the 8 strongest specialists; grew people from entry level to a competitive professional level.
- Platform scale: about 2,000 hotels, tens of thousands of customers, daily deals grew from zero to tens.
- Launched an LLM chatbot that finds hotels from a free-text request — the first of its kind in the local market. It reduced the load on customer support, became a standalone channel of requests and contributed to securing a follow-on investment round.
- Defined service boundaries, API contracts and data models for backend microservices; my team doubled feature delivery velocity within 6 months.
- Team introduced ClickHouse as an OLAP analytics layer, Terraform infrastructure-as-code and CI/CD with GitHub Actions including automated testing and a DevSecOps layer, cutting deployment failures.
- Led the migration from native mobile/web stacks (9-person team) to Flutter, consolidating the frontend codebase and reducing complexity and payroll overhead.
- Team built shared Python libraries for common service logic, eliminating code duplication across microservices.
