Project & Product Management consultancy | Navigation Solutions Expert

With 9+ years in Project & Product Management consultancy, I specialize in managing data workflows and ensuring OpenStreetMap’s data integrity. Passionate about global navigation solutions, I optimize customer satisfaction through innovation.

In my 15+ years, I’ve excelled in OpenStreetMap, quality assurance, and community development.

Since 2009, my commitment to OpenStreetMap (OSM) has led me to consistently share experiences and develop expertise in GIS, communication, data analytics, product management, and documentation organization. I’ve facilitated global learning through workshops, presentations, and resources, including the standout “Mapping for Navigation” guide.

DevOps Focus

Diving into DevOps, I leverage Kubernetes, Helm, Flux, Terraform, and GitOps for streamlined collaboration. Committed to enhancing software development and deployment processes through Infrastructure as Code (IaC). To achieve mutual understanding between different teams in the development and operation process, I have translated and keep up-to-date the documentation of Istio, Helm, Kubernetes, and other tools into Ukrainian.

Leadership and Teaching

I’ve passionately educated team members, OSM community, students, and GIS enthusiasts globally. My adept communication skills enable me to convey complex ideas to diverse audiences, fostering a productive work environment.

Combined with my leadership and teaching abilities, I maintain engagement, distribute work efficiently, and foster a harmonious work environment, resulting in exceptional results.

Ready to embark on a new challenge—let’s connect and explore synergies at the intersection of Product & Project management, DevOps, geospatial data, and banking expertise!

Hobbies and Volunteering#
OpenStreetMap – global free editable map

I am a long-time contributor to the OpenStreetMap project. I not only participate in adding new data and updating existing information, but also put a lot of effort into localising tools and documentation into Ukrainian to attract more participants from Ukraine. I translated and maintained the interfaces of such editors as iD and JOSM, translated the documentation in the OSM Wiki, and helped in the preparation of issues for the weeklyOSM. In addition, I created a website for the Ukrainian OpenStreetMap Community and helped to establish cooperation with corporate users, one of whom created and maintains a tile server for use in Ukraine.

However, my efforts are not limited to the Ukrainian community. I have updated and offered to the community site that facilitates the wide dissemination of information about the project and Switch2OSM, guidance on the transition to using OpenStreetMap.

3D Modeling and Printing

3D printing became my hobby not long ago. I documented my first steps in this hobby on my YouTube channel. I also made efforts to localise Luban slicer to 100% in Ukrainian. Not only the interface was localised, but also the built-in help.

I have a universal 3D printer that also has a laser for cutting and engraving. And I managed to cut a model of the landscape of the island from plywood, see more about it here.

Other Hobbies and Skills

Building marble machines, cross stitching, crocheting, knitting, translation of free software to Ukrainian, photography…

BC driver’s licence holder with a longstanding record of safe, accident-free driving experience.
