Taras K.

Your product has a dev team, a backlog, and a roadmap, but releases keep slipping, priorities change every week, and nobody really owns the decisions. I step in as your Product Owner or Delivery Lead, turn business goals into a backlog your developers can build from, and keep releases shipping. I've done this for GoDaddy's payments products, a $3M SAP Commerce Cloud migration for a major online retailer, Fortrea's clinical trial platforms, and enterprise work for clients including Pfizer and General Electric. "Taras is very skilled at product management. He was quick to recognize the issues we needed improvements in and is helping us reorganize our tech implementation and organization to be more agile. His communication skills are top notch and we are in the middle of the execution phase." — Vikk AI/Product Manager, Startup IF YOU NEED A PRODUCT OWNER OR PRODUCT MANAGER You have an idea, an MVP, or a product that's stalled. I help you decide what to build and in what order: - Discovery, MVP scoping, and ruthless prioritization - Roadmaps, PRDs, and user stories with acceptance criteria developers don't have to guess at - Product metrics and KPIs, so decisions are based on data, not opinions IF YOU NEED DELIVERY RUN You know what to build, but execution is messy: missed deadlines, unclear status, a vendor you can't see into. I bring order without heavy process: - Project plans, WBS, estimates, and SOWs - Sprint planning, Jira/Confluence setup, and honest weekly status with visible risks - Vendor-to-in-house transitions and distributed-team coordination WHERE I'VE DONE IT - Fintech: payments (GoDaddy), prepaid card and BNPL integrations - Healthcare: clinical trial platforms and regulated workflows (Fortrea) - E-commerce: SAP Hybris platforms (Ciklum), online retail (Well.ca) - AI/LLMOps: AI-powered products and LLM tooling (Capgemini, AI travel booking) - Mobile: iOS/Android subscription apps I've also built and shipped my own products, so I know what it takes to get from MVP to paying users. Tender Talks, my iOS subscription app, passed 50k+ downloads. I also built Zorepad (influencer SaaS) and Attesta. 16+ years of experience. CSPO-certified. Comfortable in early-stage chaos and in structured enterprise environments. Fluent in English, Ukrainian, and Russian. Send me a message with where your product is now and where you need it to be. I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit and what I'd do first.
