Dmitri knows foodtech and logistics inside out and uses that to build clean, user-friendly designs fast. He moves quickly, makes solid decisions, and keeps a good balance between detail and scope.

Dmitri consistently came up with quick, creative solutions when we hit roadblocks. What stood out most was the way he approached tough problems—with curiosity, not frustration. He asked smart questions, explored unexpected angles, and often found a way forward before the rest of us had fully framed the issue.

execution style
I aim for clear goals and use fast, early iterations to course-correct when there’s uncertainty.
I go through 2–3 design cycles a week, reaching meaningful results within a 2-week sprint.
I constantly negotiate between proper form, development scope, and user clarity.
team presence
I like to be economical with words, but always aim to keep the spirits high around me.
I use the excitement of new challenges to connect with people and reach early goals.
I approach the unique chemistry of a new team with curiosity and a desire to contribute.
