Master

Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA)

Led a team of four on-site engineers across Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan. Managed their workload and did hands-on deployment work alongside them. Deployed Nokia IT infrastructure in 10 offices during the company's regional expansion.

BI Team Leader

Defined requirements and architecture for Nokia's internal Cloud Solution platform based on AWS and Eucalyptus (AWS-compatible private cloud). Evaluated third-party technologies and delivered on-site and remote integrations across China, France and Russia.

Managed multi-vendor integration in complex telecom environments, applying 3GPP standards to resolve ambiguous technical boundaries. Built proof-of-concept demos for customers and ported two legacy products to the cloud platform.

Delivered technology trainings internally and externally (face-to-face, screencast, webinars). Won the annual Innovation award in 2010.

Senior Solution Architect

Managed delivery of six VAS products from Nokia's R&D center in China to telecom operators. Projects ranged in the tens of millions of dollars with demanding customer environments.

My main strength in this role was resolving critical escalations and managing difficult customer relationships. Led a pool of 140 engineers through requirements definition and cross-site execution. Handed over all competencies and trained local staff before transitioning to a solution architecture role.

Delivery Project Manager

Owned technical project management for 25 multi-vendor VAS integration projects (postpaid, prepaid, MMS, SMS, WAP) at 15 customer sites across multiple countries. Responsible for integration planning, deployment sequencing, rollback procedures and cutover coordination on live networks with strict SLA penalties.

Led a team of three engineers, managed their technical development and did hands-on integration work alongside them.

VAS Technical Manager

Resolved over 80 emergency cases remotely while on emergency duty, all within customer SLA deadlines. Maintained a personal resolution rate of 80% with cases closed without escalation to higher support tiers.

System Engineer

IT contractor for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Supported multiple UN agencies operating in the northwest region of Russia. Built and maintained the office IT infrastructure and managed hardware and software procurement.

IT Specialist / Contractor

Architected the migration of a browser-based video conferencing platform (HTML5/WebRTC, zero client install) from bare-metal infrastructure to virtualized deployments on VMware ESXi and Hyper-V for on-premises customers and a fully cloud-native architecture on AWS (EC2, S3, ELB, Auto Scaling, VPC, Route53, CloudFront) for SaaS delivery.

Built a cost-effective backup-to-cloud solution for a business-critical deployment. Represented the company at industry forums, exhibitions and webinars.

Best employee of Q4 2013.

In the Huawei European Research Center, I developed new building blocks for OpenStack to support heterogeneous hardware architectures. This included integrating non-standard compute resources (GPUs, FPGAs, custom accelerators) into OpenStack scheduling and provisioning workflows.

I worked closely with the system software team on HPC and cloud convergence strategies, bridging the gap between traditional HPC workloads and cloud-native deployment models. I also tracked trends in parallel computation and evaluated technical risks of proposed designs.

HPC Cloud Strategist

In my role, I oversee the full project lifecycle and drive revenue generation by delivering cloud-native, AI/ML, PaaS and IaaS solutions to enterprise clients across Europe. I lead R&D teams to meet customer requirements, drive innovation using cutting-edge technologies and ensure on-time, on-budget delivery.

I manage project execution, coordinating technical teams, monitoring progress and ensuring alignment with client expectations and broader business objectives. I also deliver technical presentations, demonstrations and proof-of-concepts to prospective clients, showcasing the value of our solutions.

Additionally, I have spearheaded local open-source development for our European clientele, building and maintaining tools such as Terraform providers, Kubernetes providers and CLI utilities. I also research and publish on AI-augmented cloud engineering, including OS-level isolation patterns for running AI coding assistants safely alongside cloud infrastructure.
