Code management platform
A Russian alternative to GitHub/GitLab for a bank. 4 teams × 9 designers.
Today I'd do it this way
The code management platform took 8 months to design — IA, USM, design system, prototypes. Today the `ia-from-research` skill takes 10–15 developer interviews and generates a first draft of information architecture in an hour. Not final — but good enough to start a real conversation with the team.

Summary
Full version available in Russian. Read in Russian →
Built a code management and CI/CD platform for a bank from scratch — a Russian alternative to GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, SonarCube. Full control over both SaaS and On-Prem projects.
Led 4 product teams with 9 designers. Owned: information architecture, USM and team backlog, design system selection and extension, prototypes tested against future user roles (developer, tech lead, reviewer, release manager). Shipped MVP, then added forks, reverse pull requests, commenting, error statistics, code quality management.
Beyond delivery: built dev/design-review processes for a platform product, ran syncs and 1:1s, designed career tracks for designers, onboarded juniors and supervised interns, embedded research into every stage.
