Professional experience
Project Lead — IP & Data Governance Implementation
2025 — PresentSoftware Company (Confidential) · Remote
- Designed and implemented an IP and data-governance system end-to-end — source code, databases, product designs, documentation and trademark assets — and drove its adoption into daily work, where most governance efforts stall.
- Built the governance framework and produced 20+ documents — registers, workflows, audit checklists and policy templates — now adopted across engineering, HR, finance and legal.
- Drove adoption across 5+ functions through workshops and decision sessions — the change-management work where well-designed systems usually die.
- Built the governance for AI use itself — a data-classification policy: cloud models for non-sensitive tasks; regulated and sensitive data (IP register, personal data) restricted to local, offline models — consistent with data-localization law and responsible-AI principles.
- Automated document generation, asset tracking and operational checklists through workflow automation, within those data-handling boundaries.
- Owned the full lifecycle: scoping, stakeholder interviews, architecture, phased rollout, iterative review.
Legal Consultant & Practice Principal
2017 — PresentIndependent Practice · Krasnoyarsk, Russia
- Ran multi-workstream client engagements solo, coordinating external legal, technical and regulatory specialists across concurrent projects — personal accountability for every outcome.
- Provided legal structuring and financial-reporting governance for a UAE-registered entity (2022–2026): cross-border structure, GCC-adjacent compliance, international operational setup.
- Led public-procurement tenders exceeding RUB 100M (~$1.1M): documentation, risk assessment, negotiation strategy, delivery oversight.
- Managed acquisition of an industrial asset complex (RUB 150M+ / ~$1.6M) — due diligence, legal structuring, transaction completion, asset transfer.
- Built multi-agency regulatory and compliance systems (industrial safety, emergency oversight, self-regulatory bodies) still used by clients.
In-House Lawyer — Multi-Divisional Industrial Holding
2012 — 2017Innovative Construction Technologies Group · Krasnoyarsk, Russia
- Sole legal-and-governance function across 8+ subsidiaries (construction, manufacturing, non-core) — the central point of contact for the whole group.
- Coordinated cross-functional work across business units, HR, finance, procurement and external contractors.
- Ran the full contract lifecycle (drafting → negotiation → execution → disputes) in a high-volume environment.
Analyst — Government Employment Agencies
2009 — 2012Krasnoyarsk City Employment Centre & Krai Labour and Employment Agency · Civil Service
- Built and maintained labour-market databases; produced statistical and analytical reporting for regional government leadership — early grounding in public-sector data systems and workforce policy.

Tools & systems
I don’t build competence on specific AI models — they change every week. I work from the fundamentals and match the tool to the task.
AI — matched to the data: cloud LLMs for non-sensitive work; sensitive or regulated data (IP register, personal data) stays on self-hosted, offline models — nothing leaves the perimeter. Designing that boundary is the skill, not the vendor.
Build & automate: low-code workflow automation, API integration, and a structured AI-assisted knowledge base I built and run.
Delivery & analytics: Jira, Asana, Confluence, MS Project, Notion, Power BI, Figma.
