Breaking down a business problem
Understand the process, the constraints and the required result before choosing a solution.
About me
Bringing business, architecture and execution together
I design and develop digital products and corporate systems. I start with the business process and its constraints, then tie architecture, development and operation into a working solution.
My experience covers engineering work, field-reporting automation, corporate platforms and integrations, building a development studio, and a SaaS for documents and e-signing.
Approach
I don't start with technology. I start with the problem.
- 01

Path
Professional history
- 01
Engineering practice
I worked on engineering tasks under a federal contract that spanned all of Russia. In the field I saw how manual processing of reports and photos slows down the whole process.
- 02
Field-reporting automation
At a company carrying out a federal contract, I moved from field engineering to development: I disliked the routine that required so much manual work, so I built a system for processing field reports for a large construction and engineering organisation. 2013–2016.
- 03
Corporate products
I built a loyalty system and an integration with a warehouse system at an interregional grocery retailer (2016–2017), then back-office systems, data exchange and integrations of the corporate platform of a large wholesale and logistics organisation and its non-food retail partners (2017–2021).
- 04
Rescuing a product
I helped restore a technically troubled outdoor-activities aggregator to working order. Sadly, COVID spared no one.
- 05
Development studio
I created my own custom software development studio. I was responsible for architecture, development and technical management; the studio grew into an end-to-end team with long-term clients.
- 06
DataDoc
Since 2021 I have been building my own SaaS for documents and e-signing — DataDoc.RU (ex forma.today). Today I lead its technical side and development.
- 07
Experience
Beyond this, over the years I have personally taken part in some thirty projects of various sizes, from an international platform for selling luxury real estate to healthcare systems.
