Andriy Zotov
Technical Project Manager | Backend Engineering Background
Technical Project Manager with 8+ years in IT, combining hands-on backend
development experience (PHP/Laravel/MySQL) with strong project leadership. I
bridge the gap between business goals and engineering execution — I can read the
code, understand architectural trade-offs, and speak the same language as the dev
Andriy Zotov team. Proven track record of delivering web products end-to-end: from initial
TECHNICAL PM & DEVELOPER architecture through development, QA, and production deployment. Experienced in
building teams, establishing development processes, and guiding products from
concept to market.
