About me
I work as a project manager at the ecosystem development studio Heads and Hands. W e make web services and mobile applications for our clients. We look at it from both sides of the product: from the point of view of the benefit for the end user and the benefit for the business. My task is to control all stages of the project and manage expectations in order to get the desired result.


Born and raised in Valdai, a small town in the Novgorod region with a poland email list population of less than 15,000 people. After finishing school, he entered St. Petersburg to study logistics.


The first two years of working in logistics suited me. I had a stable job with a salary above the average for the region. At some point, I wanted to try myself in a new field: advertising, digital or IT. My friends were already working in this field, their experience inspired me to try. I always wanted to live in Moscow, for the start of a new career it seemed the best place at that time. So I quit and moved.

Moving to Moscow: First Job in IT and Advertising Agency
I started looking for a new job on the spot, but I don't recommend this to those who don't have a "cash cushion". It's good that I had some savings, which I lived on while searching.


I had no relevant experience, so it took me two months, 40 resumes and cover letters to find my first job in IT — in product support at product support inBlogun . In six months, I grew to a project manager with a team of four developers.
