About Me

I'm Vladimir — I lead a development cluster at Innotech (T1 Group) on the VTB project, also known as DPUPP (Director of Project Portfolio Management). I'm fully responsible for generating pre-approved personalized offers for bank clients — real-time and batch platform, graph analytics, ML/NER services, geo-analytics. I went from a financial analyst at Nestle to an IT leader who designs solutions as CTO, defends strategy before top management, and builds his own products.
