About me
Living out of a suitcase as a conscious choice
Flexibility is a necessity in the modern world. Over 8+ years, I've grown from developer to team lead, worked in startups and established products, taught at universities, and created educational programs for hundreds of students. This experience taught me to build systems that work in any context – and now I help others do the same.

Frequently Asked Questions
Three main services: Strategic Momentum (1:1 mentoring for long-term goals), Career Moves (career consulting for IT and adjacent fields), and Digital Flow Engineering (productivity systems setup). Each comes in several formats and price points so you can pick what fits your situation.
All sessions are remote via Zoom or Google Meet. After each call you get an AI-generated conversation summary through Plaud.AI, so the key decisions, action items, and context are captured in writing – nothing important slips through.
Strategic Momentum and Digital Flow Engineering work for any digital professional. Career consulting is reserved for IT and related fields – product, design, data, devtools, engineering management – where I have the deepest market context and can give you a real edge.
Sessions, materials, and follow-up resources are available in English or Russian – fully fluent in both. Pick whichever helps you think clearer.
Usually within one to two weeks. I deliberately keep my client load small so each person gets real focus. The fastest way to check current availability is to ping me on Telegram and we'll align on timing.
No, I do not offer refunds. To make sure we're a good fit before you commit, reach out on Telegram first so we can align on goals, format, and expectations – that conversation is the right place to decide if working together makes sense.
