About

I build products and the teams behind them. I started in 2010 testing browser games in Moscow; today I lead new product development at Funders VC in Limassol.

Until 2016 I made games — social titles on Facebook and Kongregate, mobile games for iOS and Android — as QA, game designer, lead game designer and project manager. In 2017 I moved to Limassol: product management for cTrader at Spotware, then two years as CEO of TsarTech, a 15-person company whose project and team were acquired by a major market player.

After that came five and a half years as Product Owner at FxPro and a stint as Head of Technology and Infrastructure at BankPro, with 15 engineers on the team. Since 2025 I have been at Funders VC — first as New Products Manager, now heading ProLab Studio.
