Product Manager with hybrid DNA

I combine technical experience (IT since 1997), business acumen (2 startups, CEO) and product expertise (PM since 2021) into a single perspective. I specialize in digital transformation and building SaaS/Platform products in regulated industries.

I speak the language of business (ROI, LTV:CAC, revenue) and technology (API, LLM, integrations). Hands-on approach: from strategy, through wireframes, to close collaboration with dev teams. I thrive on projects, challenges, and transformation — not maintaining the status quo.
