SUMMARY
YouTube producer with 4+ years of experience. I specialize in turning around 100K+ channels
stuck at 1–4K views and scaling them to media-company view levels. I own the full cycle from
idea to upload: topics, scripts, guests, directing, editing, packaging. I can take production
completely off a founder's plate so they only show up to record. I build content for retention and
for revenue.

KEY RESULTS
● 337K-subscriber channel (#1 in its IT niche): regular views from 2–4K to 10–20K, hits
at 60–100K+.
● Podcasts up 5–10x in 6 months: from 2–3K to 10–20K+ views per episode.
● Set channel record for Ukrainian-language content: 65K views on a single video.
CTR held at ~7%, peaking at 10% on launch.
● 130K-subscriber e-commerce channel: from 1–3K to a steady 33–80K, hits up to
~120K, Shorts up to 800K. #1 by views in its niche.

EXPERIENCE

FoxmindEd (IT EdTech, 50+ courses) | May 2025 – Aug 2026

YouTube Producer / YouTube Manager
● Produced the founder's channel (337K) and a dedicated Shorts channel with a fully
hands-off workflow for the CEO.
● Developed topics and scripts, booked podcast and livestream guests, and worked with
speakers and PR managers.
● Directed shoots remotely: lighting, sound, framing, working with the host and camera
operator.
● Rebuilt the podcast format: hook-driven intro teasers, pacing, storytelling, titles and
thumbnails.
● Ran post-production: briefed editors, reviewed cuts, managed design, and handled
editing, color, audio and titles myself when needed.
● Planned long-form videos with Shorts in mind from the start. Shorts regularly hit
10–20K+, top ones 100K+.

● Moved the channel from Russian to Ukrainian and targeted a commercially relevant
audience over raw views. YouTube grew to ~39% of company revenue (from ~4%).
