Profile

IT professional with 15+ years in the digital industry — web design, print / graphic design and motion design — and 10+ years as an HTML/CSS frontend developer. For the last 7 years an IT Project Manager, leading delivery of web platforms, applications and AI-driven products.

Comfortable running two parallel streams at once — backend and bot / integration development — translating product requirements into clear technical specifications, owning the backlog and synchronising teams toward coordinated releases. Strong technical grounding in APIs, integrations and task queues, with hands-on experience building and operating Telegram bots and LLM / AI products. Works in Agile / Kanban and partners closely with QA.

Backed by a trusted outsourcing reserve of developers and a recruiting network, I can scale a delivery team up quickly when a project demands more capacity.

AI Agent Fleet & Orchestration

I designed and operate a custom fleet of 40+ specialised AI sub-agents across 10 departments — product, backend, frontend, design, DevOps / SRE, security, SEO / growth, data, go-to-market and QA. Each agent has its own tuned configuration, tool-set and persistent memory, orchestrated by a lead PM agent that decomposes tasks, routes work and assembles the results.

In practice it is an AI-augmented delivery team: it ships the products above faster and at higher quality. Hands-on with prompt engineering, model routing (cheap vs smart), guardrails and multi-provider failover.
