    Hi, I'm Vlad

    Software Architect, Consultant, and Public Speaker

    Software Architect | Consultant | Entrepreneur | Mentor | Worldwide Speaker | Published Author

    I operate as a senior architect and fractional CTO — hands-on in the codebase, strategic in the boardroom. You get direct access to 15+ years of production experience across media, healthcare, fintech, streaming, startups, and enterprise SaaS.

    Why Work With Me

    I'm an architect who writes code and an engineer who thinks strategically. No middlemen, no junior handoffs — just direct access to 15+ years of production experience.

    Architect & Engineer in One

    I don't just design systems — I build them. Strategy meetings in the morning, shipping PRs with your team in the afternoon.

    Code Quality ↔ Delivery Balance

    I know when to refactor and when to ship. Architecture decisions grounded in real-world trade-offs, not theoretical perfection.

    Deep Industry Understanding

    15+ years building production systems means I understand not just the tech, but the business context that drives decisions.

    Thoughtful & Calm Under Pressure

    Conservative estimates, humble execution. I never overpromise and consistently exceed expectations with calm, focused delivery. A presence that adds to your team culture.

    What Clients Say

    Hear from founders and engineering leaders I've worked with.

    "I've worked closely with Vlad for nearly six years across multiple projects, where he's served either as a fractional CTO, software architect or principal engineer, consistently delivering exceptionally high-quality work across web, mobile and cloud systems. Specializing in the React and TypeScript ecosystems though certainly not limited to them, he brings a rare depth of technical knowledge paired with genuine curiosity for new tools and approaches. On top of all that, he's a personable, low-ego, team-oriented member of any organization he works with."

    Geoffrey Sechter

    Founder

    Lightstrike

    "Vlad is an exceptional engineer, able to take on large, complex projects and deliver thoughtful solutions. He is a conservative developer in the best possible way -- he never overpromises and often overdelivers. I thoroughly enjoy having Vlad on the team and his calm, thoughtful, humorous presence adds greatly to our team culture."

    Lisa Lefebvre

    Growth & Marketing Consultant

    Mendtogether

    "Vladimir is a class-act professional as well as top-tier entrepreneur and software engineer. He can think abstractly while also realizing projects down to the minute detail. He's also a delight to work with, and often overdelivers with humble grace."

    Caen Contee

    Serial Entrepreneur & Investor

    Lime | Deliberate Ventures

    "Vlad is a joy to work with. I've had the pleasure of working with Vlad in both a consulting context, where he was a member of my team on a key project, and a training context, where I TA'd for a React Native workshop he taught. Vlad is incredibly knowledgeable, quick, and capable. He's a competent expert in all things React Native that I look forward to working with again in the future."

    Ryan Linton

    Staff Software Engineer

    Infinite Red

    "Vlad joined one of our consulting teams at a key time and quickly integrated his talents. He's a smart, efficient, capable senior software engineer, and has the interpersonal skills to communicate well. I have enjoyed having Vlad on our projects and recommend him highly!"

    Jamon Holmgren

    Co-founder & CTO

    Infinite Red, Inc.

    "I first met Vladimir when he was speaking at React Native EU. I quickly identified him as an intelligent, friendly, and happy person. We kept in touch and discussed tech often. During one of our more complex projects, we sought him for consulting help in a project that was behind schedule. He immediately jumped in, and began working with our team and the client! The result was outstanding. Vladimir is a pleasure to work with, and an asset to any team who is lucky enough to work with him."

    Gant Laborde

    CIO & AI Ambassador

    Infinite Red

    "I compare Vlad to a Tank - always moving forward, no matter what obstacles are in his way. From implementing the complex features to talking about technology in front of hundreds of people, no matter how tight is the deadline, I have always known that Vlad will deliver. Vlad is one of the most technical people I've ever met. He is always up to date with the recent trends and works on several pet projects that helps him experience the subject with his bare hands."

    Ron Schwartz

    CTO

    Loris.ai

    "Vlad is a truly exceptional person: he has the rare combination of pragmatism, perfectionism and timeliness. He delivers outstanding quality in a short time, manages to multitask and succeed on his very first try - while constantly learning new things! Vlad is an engineer, an architect, an irreplaceable developer and expert in modern front-end, mobile and React Native."
