Hi, I’m Oleg. I work in tech, currently as a Product Manager, with a background in front-end engineering.

I enjoy building thoughtful digital products and being part of communities where people share ideas, learn from each other, and make useful things together. I sometimes attend tech events and contribute to open source.

Outside of work, I’m usually drawn to offline things: nature, photography, travel, vinyl, and good books. I care a lot about privacy, trust, and working with people in a clear, straightforward way.
