With over 15 years of experience in the fintech and media industries, I have continuously created innovative products, tested ideas, explored unconventional solutions, and witnessed the growth of these products.

I always stay in contact with stakeholders, developers, marketing, supporting staff and users. It allows more currently recognize appearing problems and, therefore faster and better solve them.
Main successes
Robo-advisor. Creating and developing.
Unique for Russian market product for unqualified investors. There were created one mobile application and four web-application with similar functions, but with different UI. Product was promoted as white-label solution. Functions specific to each implementation were added to branded solutions. The product was able to find its niche and confidently developed.

I was responsible for the entire life cycle of robo-advisers, including prototype development, UX/UI design, feature testing and launch, and ongoing support of production versions.

For advances users are intended constructor of portfolios and analytics. And professional members of market use product pages of funds, specialized analytic, regulatory information.

Paid model in internet-media
Since 2014 year Slon internet-media (renaimed in Republic in 2016) have stated an experiment to introduce unique at that time in Russian market paid model #mdash; that was difficult to instill in users thought, that they have to pay for texts on the Internet. I took technical support shifts to understand, what problems do users face, for better users experience. There were a lot of experiments, including different stocks, gamification, collaborations with friendly media. Eventually model was successfully started and publication was able to become self-sufficient.

iPad magazine Slon
In 2012 year iPad-magazines were in trend and Slon create their own. The publication was first published quarterly, but later change format to weekly. I did a full production cycle: publication in AppStore, layout of articles on iPad and iPhone, posting advertisement, productiondelivery.

Special projects and interactive.
Slon from the beginning of its work was innovative media. One of the first, at list in Russian market we did interactive infographic (then using with Adobe Flash), later we began to produce editorial special projects: long reads or interactive pages with special layout and effects, dedicated, for example, to major event or investigation. I often typeset by myself special projects using a separate git-repository without interfering with the main site.
Technologies
For now, I prefer to use Figma for work with interfaces. I work in such tools as Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo, when I work with graphic but also I know well tools of Adobe company. Also I can make Lottie animation in Adobe After Effects.

For collaboration I use Miro, Jira, Confluence, Trello, Invision, Zeplin, Gitlab, Storybook.
