About

Engineering Manager & Architect with 10+ years in web and infrastructure systems. Built and led distributed teams (5–50+ engineers) across startups and Big Tech environments. Focused on real-world engineering: software quality, hiring systems, and scaling patterns that actually work.

I write about engineering leadership, system design, and the uncomfortable truths behind tech’s productivity myths. Background in Node.js, React, TypeScript, and AI-driven architectures.

From Ukraine, currently working remotely with US-based companies. Obsessed with data, performance, and reducing noise in engineering management.

Interests:

Systems that improve engineering velocity without adding bureaucracy

AI in production (not demos)

Hiring accuracy, 90-day trials, and retention frameworks

The intersection of engineering culture, quality, and economics
