MAKSYM MYKYTYN

Engineering Leader transitioning into Technical Product Management

Remote | English (Advanced), Ukrainian (Native)

PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Engineer with 9+ years of experience building enterprise software and leading
technical initiatives. Throughout my career I naturally gravitated toward identifying
business problems, validating technical hypotheses, driving proof-of-concepts, and
coordinating engineering efforts with business goals. After several years of leading teams,
mentoring engineers and driving R&D initiatives, I'm now looking to transition into a
Technical Product Management role focused on complex engineering products, AI and
Computer Vision. Worked in an AI-first engineering environment using LLMs to
accelerate development, research and technical decision-making.

LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE
⦁ Mentored junior developers and trainees across multiple companies, supporting
onboarding, technical growth, and improving engineering practices through
regular knowledge sharing

⦁ Managed sprint planning and retrospectives for a 12-person development team
as part of a 140+-engineer organization. Calculated team KPIs, forecasted
velocity, and presented progress and risks to Product Owners and business
stakeholders.

⦁ Participated in quarterly cross-team planning sessions, aligning feature delivery
with business goals while controlling technical debt.

⦁ Proposed, researched and delivered an MVP for AI-assisted inventory

counting, transforming an initial idea into a working prototype validated with
stakeholders.

CAREER HIGHLIGHTS

Engineering Leadership

⦁ Mentored junior developers and trainees across multiple companies, supporting
onboarding, technical growth, and engineering best practices.

⦁ Served as Scrum Master for a 12-person engineering team within a SAFe
organization of 140+ engineers, facilitating sprint planning, retrospectives, KPI
forecasting, and cross-team coordination.

⦁ Participated in quarterly PI Planning, balancing business priorities, delivery
commitments, team capacity, and technical debt.

⦁ Represented engineering during discussions with Product Owners,
stakeholders, and English-speaking clients to align technical implementation
with business goals.

R&D & Innovation

⦁ Identified a manual inventory management bottleneck and proposed an AI-
assisted solution based on computer vision.

⦁ Led the complete R&D lifecycle—from technology research and feasibility
analysis to proof-of-concept development and MVP delivery.

⦁ Evaluated multiple technical approaches before selecting the most suitable
solution for the existing product architecture.

⦁ Presented research findings, technical trade-offs, and implementation strategy
to engineering leadership and product stakeholders.

Product Thinking

⦁ Focused on solving business problems rather than implementing predefined
technical tasks.

⦁ Regularly proposed process improvements and automation opportunities to
reduce manual work and increase operational efficiency.

⦁ Collaborated with Product Owners to prioritize features while balancing
technical debt and long-term maintainability.

⦁ Comfortable validating ideas through rapid experimentation before committing
to full-scale implementation.

Cross-functional Collaboration

⦁ Worked closely with Product Owners, Engineering Managers, Tech Leads, QA
teams, and international clients throughout the software delivery lifecycle.

⦁ Participated in large-scale SAFe planning events involving 140+ engineers
across multiple teams.

⦁ Facilitated communication between technical and non-technical stakeholders,
helping translate business needs into engineering solutions.

⦁ Organized internal knowledge-sharing sessions covering engineering practices,
Git workflows, development tooling, and productivity improvements.

Technical Excellence

⦁ 9+ years of experience building enterprise software using .NET, TypeScript,
Docker, Azure, and modern web technologies.

⦁ Experience modernizing legacy systems, designing reusable services, and
