Current work

Three products in Sber’s Trade Finance (CIB) cluster, each a different kind of problem: owning a mature product, launching a new one, and research that changed the logic underneath

Earlier work

Graphic design

Identity, expo branding and merch for the running world

About

I started as a full-stack developer and moved into design because I cared more about how a product should work than about building it

Now I work in fintech at Sber, in Trade Finance (CIB), designing for customers in the mobile app and for bank staff who serve them in branches. I’m most at home between design, product, data and engineering: digging into business logic, testing with users, challenging requirements and turning regulated processes into steps people can follow

I also build with AI. I experiment with design-to-code workflows and write small agents and tools for work I don’t want to do twice

Outside product work I run, and I design for running: club identity, expo branding and merch for the Colibri running club, RunLab and Sportmaster PRO. See it in Graphic
