About
I'm Pavel. I grew up fascinated by how video games work, and that curiosity slid toward the technical side of it: how they get built, how they get run. Web development and project management came next, and that is the field I grew up in.
In my spare time I lend a hand at a cobbler's shop. It teaches me every day how to take care of each customer properly, because no two of them expect quite the same thing. At the end of the day, everyone wants the best shoe.
I lift, I cook, and I like to learn, from physics to the study of perspective. I draw as well, badly. Much better designer than draughtsman.
Experience
2026
Project manager
Talentsquare · Brussels
The person people called when something was stuck, and who stayed until it was unstuck.
Translating what a customer actually meant to the engineering team, and the other way round.
Putting order back into a process that had drifted.
2024 to 2025
Independent consultant · web platforms
Self-employed · remote
My own clients, from the first coffee to the site going live.
Shop owners and restaurateurs, not marketing departments.
Half of them stayed on afterwards, and that is the reference I am proudest of.
2023 to 2024
Technical project manager
Albato
Between the sales people and the engineers, keeping both in the same conversation.
Training technical teams in English, in a company that worked in Russian.
Still the client's contact once the project had shipped.
2023
Front-end developer
Albato
Six months writing production code, which is why I still know what is feasible and what is not.
Understanding from the inside what you are asking a development team to do.
