I’m a Fractional CMO, Marketing Strategist, and Go to Market Strategist with 15+ years of experience, 80+ clients worldwide, and 20+ marketing teams and functions built from scratch for startups and SMEs. I obtained a Master's degree in Marketing, 25+ marketing certifications across Google, Apple Ads, Microsoft, HubSpot, and others, and keep learning. 🔹 Results I’ve delivered as a Fractional CMO: • Built GTM strategy, marketing strategy, and marketing department from scratch, led a team of 17, and acquired first 1,000 active cardholders at ~$5.5 CAC for a FinTech startup • Delivered 10× Black Friday sales growth on the same ad budget, 7× email-attributed sales & 65% lower CAC for a UK Home Décor eCommerce brand • Grew organic traffic by 150%, doubled qualified leads & reduced CPA to $83 per direct booking for a luxury beachfront resort • Achieved 2x email-driven revenue & 34% reduction in cart abandonment through automation and CRO for an international Beauty DTC brand • Optimized cost per trial signup to €5.86 through targeted paid campaigns for a Print-on-Demand SaaS startup • Successfully launched a Kickstarter campaign with 135 backers in 30 days for a wearable tech startup • Earned media placements in Fox News, NYT, Telemundo & CNET for my clients • Managed ad campaigns exceeding $100K/month per channel As a Fractional CMO, I’ve worked with eCommerce brands, DTC companies, hotels, event businesses, educational platforms, and tech products — including apps and SaaS companies in MarTech, FinTech, HealthTech, IoT, RetailTech, and Robotics. My experience spans launch and growth stages, from market research and early SaaS marketing strategy to scaling existing growth marketing systems I’ve also supported Kickstarter campaigns, mentored founders in accelerators, and built my own businesses and startup projects. Alongside broad cross-industry experience, this gives me an inside view of what founders are really dealing with — limited budgets, competing priorities, and pressure to make smart decisions quickly Over the years, I’ve been hands-on across nearly every major area of digital marketing — from Google Ads, Facebook Ads, email marketing, and email marketing automation to social media marketing, content, SEO, CRO, analytics, and marketing operations. That practical experience helps me quickly identify what’s holding a business back, where growth marketing opportunities are being missed, and which marketing strategy gaps need to be addressed first I actively use AI tools in marketing, run AI-based projects, and build automations with Make, n8n, Zapier to streamline campaigns, reporting, and workflows Today, I work primarily as a Fractional CMO, Marketing Consultant, Marketing Director, and Digital Marketing Strategist — helping businesses make better decisions, lead marketing more effectively, and build systems that support sustainable growth 🔹 Who I work best with ▸ SaaS & B2B tech founders, from pre-launch to Series B, who need a Fractional CMO, SaaS CMO, or interim Marketing Director to architect a Go to Market Strategy and turn product-market signal into a scalable growth marketing engine ▸ eCommerce & DTC brands where Shopify sales have plateaued, paid CAC keeps creeping up, or marketing feels like disconnected tasks instead of a system — often requiring eCommerce growth marketing, better CRO, and stronger retention ▸ Founder-led teams needing marketing closely aligned with sales, operations, and finance — working with the CEO, COO, Fractional CFO, Sales Strategist, or internal sales team 🔹 Common engagements ▸ Fractional CMO retainer — interim or ongoing marketing leadership. I step in as your senior marketing lead, interim Marketing Director, or Growth Marketing Director, run weekly strategy and execution rhythms, manage in-house teams or external partners, and own KPIs end-to-end ▸ Go to Market Strategy for SaaS launches and new-market entry. ICP and segmentation work, market research, positioning, pricing and packaging, channel mix, launch sequencing, and a 90-day execution plan that actually ships ▸ Building a marketing department from zero. Hiring plan and roles, vendor selection, tool stack, analytics infrastructure, SOPs, and reporting cadence — so what I build keeps running without me in the room ▸ Growth marketing across paid, email marketing, SEO / GEO, content marketing, and CRO. End-to-end performance system where channels compound instead of cannibalize, with full-funnel attribution so budget decisions are driven by data, not opinion As a Fractional CMO, Growth Marketing Strategist, and Marketing Director, I own marketing strategy end-to-end: positioning, go to market strategy, customer acquisition strategy across Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and Microsoft Ads, LinkedIn marketing strategy, SEO / GEO, CRO, full-funnel analytics, and AI-driven automation - all aligned with your sales strategy and business goals Need a Fractional CMO?

Python Full Stack Developer who steps in where products stall - fixing broken ownership, tightening architecture, and turning messy delivery into a system that actually ships 10+ years in web product development, I now lead UASOFTDEV as CTO & Co-Founder, building and scaling teams of senior Ukrainian engineers who can integrate fast and take real technical responsibility from day one. If your product is slowed down by handoff gaps, weak architecture, or fragmented ownership, I help turn it into a clear delivery process with strong technical control My strongest core role is a python developer for backend-heavy products, with additional experience in C# .NET when projects require enterprise-grade backend logic. When the scope expands, I work as a full stack developer with end-to-end ownership, or as a web developer focused on scalable execution. 📌 What I typically cover Web and Mobile Development backed by 10+ years of product work, supported by a python full stack developer approach when APIs and UI must evolve together Full-Stack Development aligned into 1 clear delivery flow, shaped through python full stack thinking for faster releases and fewer handoff gaps E-commerce Web Development across 3 core layers - business logic, integrations, and user flows - delivered with full stack python experience API development and Integration for internal platforms and 3rd-party systems, handled in a full stack developer python role when architecture must stay practical ⚙️ My current capability set covers React with JavaScript, Next.js, Nest.js and TypeScript, plus Vue.js and Angular. On the backend, I work with Node.js, laravel, python, Django, Flask, .NET, C++, Go, Ruby on Rails and Java. Mobile and cloud delivery includes iOS, Android, flutter, React Native, AWS, Azure, GCP, Docker, Kubernetes, and openstack. I also support CMS and platform work through wordpress, Drupal, Symfony, Magento and Shopify. 🛠️ Delivery across product layers Lean API products often benefit from a python full stack developer flask setup User-facing systems need a full stack web developer mindset when flow affects adoption Interface-heavy platforms grow faster with a full stack developer react profile Cross-layer execution works well in a full stack developer react python environment System reliability improves early with a backend python developer focus 🤖 I build AI features for real workflows, not for demo value alone. In that context, I work as a python ai developer on assistants, automation and internal tools. My python ai work is strongest where adoption matters, and clients also bring me in as an ai developer or ai software developer when implementation must connect product, backend, and rollout. 🧠 AI, frontend, and product execution ✔️Practical ai machine learning features tied to support, search, and operations ✔️Applied machine learning developer work when smart functionality must fit an existing product ✔️Business-facing machine learning integrations designed for measurable value ✔️Custom chatbot systems built with react python flows and fastapi services ✔️Scalable UI delivery as a react developer with clean html front end execution and thoughtful app design ☁️ I stay close to architecture because strong delivery depends on clear ownership. That is why I regularly handle back end development, step in as a backend developer when technical decisions affect release quality, and support python devops workflows across cloud and deployment planning. 🔧 Collaboration and adjacent exposure In a startup, delivery often means working beside a data scientist, then translating that work with a product manager into usable features. Release quality improves when a qa analyst joins early, especially in products shaped by compliance. Some founders also involve me as a startup consultant before code begins. ✔️Broader platform exposure includes sharepoint workflows, material ui dashboards, payment gateway implementation ✔️Cross-team delivery has also touched full stack java environments and adjacent java devops processes. ✔️Finance-related work has included trading python flows, algorithmic trading logic, binance integrations, and tools built for a trader. ✔️Adjacent product contexts have involved data entry operations, support for a journalist workflow, technical resume writing solutions, selected dall-e use cases, prototype work around crypto bot ideas, and tools requested by gaming developers. ✔️Growth-focused engagements may also involve a seo specialist, a practical it consultant, or teams building in marketing saas. 🌍 My domain expertise includes AI Startups, Data Analytics, Healthcare, Fintech, E-commerce agencies, IT Consulting/Softdev companies, Real Estate, Non-Profit, Blockchain and Gambling 🤝 If you need senior technical ownership Python Full Stack Developer, fast ramp-up and delivery that stays aligned with business goals, let’s talk."
