A seller who got tired of doing the same thing twice.
I grew up in Kharkiv and studied languages, which is a strange place to start a career in technology sales. It turned out not to be. The job was never really about the product. It was about understanding one specific person's problem well enough that the answer was obvious to both of us.
I got good at that. I was the top rep in every department I worked in, most recently ranked the number one Acquisition Account Executive across the US and Canada at a 26 billion dollar IT firm, ahead of reps far more senior than me. I got into a ten thousand person enterprise with zero budget beyond my own pay, by working out the best way in, and grew the account from about three thousand Canadian dollars to about a million inside six months.
What I could not stand was doing the same work twice. Researching the same kind of account, writing the same kind of follow-up, rebuilding the same reasoning from scratch every Monday. So I started automating my own job, quietly, for myself. Then I automated the rest of my life the same way, because the method turned out not to care what the work was.
That is what I do now. I take a workflow someone already runs and I make it run itself. I am not an engineer and I do not pretend to be one. I direct AI to build things, I test them on myself until they actually hold up, and then I hand them over so somebody else owns them without needing me.
I have always ended up leading. Class representative at university, its main host for two years, then the top rep in every department I have worked in. That has not gone away: I am building myself long-term as a leader, and doing it in the open is part of that.
Here is the part most people leave out. My role was eliminated in June 2026, while I was ranked number one in my department. I am building all of this in the open while I look for my next role in tech, and I see no contradiction in that. The same instinct that made me automate my own pipeline is the one that makes me useful to a company.
