CTO @ Zendrop. I advise founders on shipping fast, scaling smart, and adopting AI that actually works.

Driving growth through technology

I help founders choose the right path—invest in foundations or ship a lean MVP—and then lead the work: MVP in weeks, stable releases, predictable costs, and AI adoption that drives real results. At Zendrop I lead the ongoing scale-up; earlier I advised Talaka.by and built & sold Gratzbonus.

How I help founders

MVP in weeks

Scope the essentials, ship quickly, learn from real usage. No gold‑plating, no endless dev cycles.

Scale without rewrites

Keep uptime high and latency low as traffic grows. Capacity planning and clean upgrade paths prevent “stop‑the‑world” refactors.

Team that executes

Hiring loop, calm on-call, QA baseline, and a release train you can trust. Teams empowered by AI-assisted coding and agentic workflows. Clear ownership, fewer outages.

AI that drives results

I help integrate AI into operations, analytics, and product where it drives real value. Automations, internal tools, customer-facing features—adoption that actually ships.
