Multi-vertical financial holding: marketplaces, delivery, fintech, insurance, rentals. Launched an internal marketing attribution platform from scratch; now the group standard.

• • Led delivery of the group's internal marketing attribution platform (AppsFlyer equivalent). Adopted across the holding with ~1,000 daily active internal users.

• • Designed a cost-efficient architecture that scaled to billions of events per day at near-100% uptime, running on edge infrastructure instead of traditional servers.

• • Owned end-to-end delivery: product scope with marketing stakeholders, technical design, team execution. Stack: Next.js, Python, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, cloud platforms.

Ongoing alongside main employment. Self-directed, end-to-end delivery.

• • BI platform for an equipment rental company. Consolidated data from multiple sources including legacy HireTrack NX and Navigator into a unified reporting layer on Superset. Replaced spreadsheet-driven reporting with dashboards for utilization, revenue, and fleet health.

• • Multi-tier content pipeline on Kubernetes — retrieval, classification, generation. vLLM with AWQ quantization on CUDA to keep inference cost near zero. Designed for throughput on modest hardware, not API-dependent.

• • Home lab: self-built Kubernetes cluster on retired laptops. Dev and staging environment for the projects above. Stack: Python, Kubernetes, vLLM, AWQ, CUDA, Superset, PostgreSQL, Redpanda Joined the newly opened country rep office; grew it to $100M+ annual revenue, supplying high-rise developers nationwide.

• • Built the sales roadmap against targets set by Panasonic and Kubota HQ.

• • Built the distribution network from scratch — sourced, onboarded, trained, and led partners nationwide.

• • Wrote country-level commercial policy: pricing, territories, margins, partner tiers.

• • Owned key accounts directly — major distributors and large developers. Negotiated multi-year, multi-million contracts.

• • Drove product adaptation with Japanese HQ based on local regulations and field feedback.

• • Held the business through COVID and the shipping crisis — no lost strategic customers. HQ approved plans for a local factory; project shelved when the parent company exited the market under international sanctions.
