Do you have developers in Europe with leadership based in another part of the world? Are you in need of someone to assist with coordination and communication? I have successfully led numerous projects involving teams from California, Europe, the Middle East, and India, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Lead your teams

Lead your teams

I have experience leading multiple global teams, spanning from California, through Europe, to India, in my full-time roles. This includes team growth, conducting 1:1s, establishing goals, and defining steps to achieve them. Additionally, I have provided mentoring both as a part of my full-time positions and on-demand for various clients. I love to be a bridge between developers and non-engineer team members.

Drive Design System Implementation

I have the expertise to coordinate efforts required for developing an internal Design System. I have a proven track record of working closely with UX, feature developers, and design system developers, ensuring seamless cooperation and alignment across all teams. I have implemented design systems at the corporate level in Cisco and in the startup environment at Tempo.

In all my full-time roles, a significant portion of my focus has been dedicated to enhancing DX. Whether refining the build process, setting up linters, establishing CI/CD pipelines, integrating various levels of testing into daily practices, or optimizing the delivery of new features - these efforts have resulted in more productive developers and more satisfied managers.

Testimonials

Kedar Shiroor said:

“I’ve worked with Roman for over 8 years, some of those as a direct manager. Roman is one of the best front end engineer & manager I’ve worked with in my career. His ability to balance technical quality and the operational side (timeliness of work and delivery), is phenomenal. He’s a great partner for UX teams. He works tirelessly in service of up leveling customer experiences. I remember several examples where he’s partnered with design teams to deliver effective, productive and delightful experiences. I’ve also seen Roman lead remote engineering teams very effectively and with high quality. His ability to collaborate effectively across time zones, makes him an asset for any organization. Overall, Roman is a multiplier talent. I’d work with him again in a heart beat!”

frontend

Frontend web development has always been extremely rewarding and satisfying for me. When building full-stack web applications, most clients prioritize the frontend and user experience. Even in my bootstrapped projects, I put significant effort into creating effective, user-friendly interfaces. I've worked on JavaScript-heavy applications, developed design systems, and done extensive UI prototyping.
