From team operations
to project delivery.

My experience spans team leadership, client operations and UX design. That background helps me understand the people, processes and requirements behind a software project.

At RapidDev, I manage scope, budgets, timelines and client communication. I have contributed to more than 30 projects through project management, consulting and support for other PMs, and help teams adopt AI tools and workflows.

At peak, I managed 12 active projects. My teams averaged six people, with the largest team reaching eleven.

I enjoy trying new tools and ideas and finding ways to make everyday work easier. When an idea looks promising, I like seeing it through until it works in practice.

SELECTED
PROJECTS

Selected work in project delivery, automation and UX design.

AI implementation

Team adoption

AI tools that fit the team's work

Practical workflows for project delivery and client communication.

Read the case

The problem

Project teams needed help choosing and introducing useful AI tools into their work.

What I did

I helped teams choose tools, set up workflows and learn how to use them in everyday project work.

The result

The teams learned to use the tools and continue with the workflows independently.

Part of my Project Manager role at RapidDev.

Project delivery

30+ projects

Client software projects at RapidDev

Project management, consulting and support for other PMs.

Read the case

The problem

Client projects require clear requirements, realistic plans and regular communication about scope and budget.

What I did

I manage scope, budgets, timelines and client communication, and support other PMs through consulting and help with project delivery.

The result

Contributed to more than 30 projects in total. Typical client project budgets are $25,000–50,000, with one project exceeding $100,000.

The total includes different forms of involvement; it does not mean sole ownership of all these projects.

AI implementation

20 → 300+ / day

Job publishing without the manual queue

A running workflow with human supervision.

Read the case

The problem

Manual publication limited the number of job advertisements the business could post each day.

What I did

I built an agent workflow to prepare and publish advertisements across websites, with editing, management and shutdown controls.

The result

The workflow runs around the clock. The operator monitors results and makes corrections when needed, instead of manually publishing every advertisement.

Daily postings, not unique vacancies. Human review remains part of the process.

Project delivery

400 staff

Ent Group · CRM for business operations

A parallel engagement alongside SOFTSWISS.

Read the case

The problem

The business needed a CRM to support operational work at a larger staff scale.

What I did

Coordinated a six-person team delivering a CRM MVP and aligned implementation with operational needs.

The result

Delivered an MVP in three months. The solution supported approximately 400 staff and reduced manual work by around 40%.

Side engagement during the SOFTSWISS employment period; exact project dates are not specified.

Project delivery

Online + physical

3coin Exchange · Crypto exchange & cash terminal

A standalone crypto platform project combining an online exchange with a physical terminal.

Read the case

The problem

The platform needed to support online crypto exchange and a physical terminal designed for converting cryptocurrency into cash.

What I did

I worked with the team to build the crypto exchange, coordinating the online platform and physical-terminal work as parts of one product.

The result

The project brought together a digital exchange and a crypto-to-cash terminal workflow.

A separate project engagement, outside my agency portfolio.

Project delivery

Design system

A design system for a Polish bank

UX design on a temporary banking project.

Read the case

The problem

A project for a Polish bank involving requirements gathering and UX design.

What I did

The result

The work produced a large-scale design system for the bank.

HOW I WORK

Start with the problem. Make progress measurable. Leave the team stronger.

01

Lead delivery

Explore

Clarify requirements, plan milestones, coordinate people and manage budget, scope and risk. Keep the client involved in decisions, not surprised by them.

02

Make AI useful

Explore

Choose tools for an actual business need. Prototype, test, document and integrate. I work with Codex, Claude, MCP, APIs, custom skills and agent workflows.

03

Build team capability

Explore

Teach through practical cases, reusable instructions and workshops. A good implementation keeps working when I am no longer in the room.

04

Keep humans in control

Explore

Use AI to support judgement, not hide uncertainty. For example, an email-analysis workflow flags potential project escalations for a PM to review.

WHAT I’M
BUILDING TOWARD

AI agents, ERP, CRM and business automation are the areas I want to help shape.

People setting direction.
Agents doing the work.

I see a future where people work closely with networks of AI agents. I believe these systems will increasingly take on end-to-end workflows that currently require entire teams, changing how businesses organise and deliver work.

I want to help build that future: people defining goals, making consequential decisions and remaining accountable, while agents carry out coordinated work across systems.

I’m especially interested in ERP and CRM systems, where agents can connect business data, customer context and everyday operations. My focus is turning that vision into useful automation that teams can understand, supervise and improve.
