Development of a large product service within one of the bank's business streams. Working in a monorepo with a multi-module architecture and integration into the mobile banking app.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implementation of new product features
• Leading large cross-team and cross-platform features as a feature owner
• Conducting technical research and making architectural decisions
• Cross-functional collaboration with product, design, analytics, backend, iOS, and adjacent teams
• Code review within the team and via inner source for adjacent teams
• Mentoring developers and interns, onboarding new team members
• Running team meetings (estimations, tech debt, demo, retro)
• Covering functionality with Unit and UI tests, maintaining test infrastructure
• Working with the release cycle, feature toggles, configurations, and analytics

Leadership and architectural impact:

• Acted as a feature owner of a large cross-platform project (Android, iOS, Web) for over a year: conducting research, defining requirements, coordinating teams, and defending architectural decisions
• Designed and implemented a universal integration contract for embedding external services into the product, laying the foundation for scalable integrations with other business lines
• Fully redesigned the service’s navigation to support parallel user flows, separated the backstack and state, and unified the behavior of bottom sheets
• Authored an RFC-style architectural specification of a cross-platform configuration mechanism, aligned with Web, iOS, backend, and design teams

Product impact (A/B test metrics):

• Launched a key feature: target action conversion grew by +29% (statistically significant), GMV uplift +39.8%
• Launched an external service integration: CR to product card +14.35%, order CR uplift +19.7% — with no negative impact on core service metrics
• Validated key product hypotheses that shaped the service’s roadmap

Engineering culture and processes:

• Led the adoption of Jetpack Compose in the project: research, base classes, Compose UI-testing infrastructure, the first production Compose screen, and an internal demo talk
• Significantly increased Unit and UI test coverage, improved the base interceptor for test stability, and added support for testing notifications and Compose screens
• Set up UI test infrastructure and nightly runs for the B2B app, enabling early detection of regressions
• Introduced TTI measurement and visualization in Grafana, initiated metric unification with iOS for comparability of results
• Took over and formalized estimation and tech-debt meetings, created a release responsibility calendar and process guidelines
• Maintained documentation for knowledge transfer, metrics, and architectural decisions
• Successfully passed the internal Senior grade evaluation
• Received positive feedback from the team, manager, product, design, and adjacent teams throughout performance reviews

Mentoring and community:

• Mentored students within a university internship program — one of the students successfully passed the hiring process and joined the company as a junior
• Leading the mobile internship program at ITIS: defining requirements, regulations, coordinating mentors, working with students
• Mentors a student in the internal Academy program and an intern from an adjacent team
• Represented the company at a major internal conference (700+ participants)

• Implemented on-the-fly localization with multi-language support
• Organized the camera and gallery and pre-processed photos before sending them to the server
• Worked with converting images for different containers

During the internship I participated in the development of the company’s internal project with full immersion in the development process. For the first time I worked with Compose.
“In short, you are good, we are satisfied with your work. I want to note your motivation and involvement, your speed of immersion in new technologies and completing tasks, a clear breakdown of code by commit, good design of pull-requests, quick response to comments, the presence of your own ideas and suggestions. Also noted soft skills, the fact that you didn’t hesitate to ask questions not only to mentors, but also to designers and analysts - that’s very cool” - @MyMentor
