Digital Vocabulary – 20th Annual Webby Awards Official Honoree

Self-funded and produced an award-winning educational project to empower people to understand their digital life and be self-aware when navigating modern media and technology. The project was called "Digital Vocabulary," and it studied the ongoing relationship between modern humans and digital media and technology. The idea behind starting this project was simple: our vocabulary determines our thinking, and our thinking determines our actions and everyday rituals.

The project provided thought-provoking content presenting new words, phrases, concepts, behavioral patterns, and simple ground rules that helped people build a bigger picture of the modern digital landscape and our behavior. The long read delved into questions about why we are constantly pulled to the Internet and how technology is changing our social life and humanity itself.

To answer these questions, we researched how the internet and gadgets shape our behavior and define modern humanity. We studied daily internet and gadget usage experiences and researched ordinary users, artists, developers, designers, and even monks. Furthermore, we analyzed and processed technology research materials and thoughts from media philosophers

Received recognition:

– Official Honoree in The 20th Annual Webby Awards in Activism Category (April 2016)
– The FWA Public Shortlist (October 2015)
– AWWWARDS Nominee (October 2015)
– CSS Design Awards Nominee (October 2015)

Author & Creative Producer

Consultant. Member, International Academy of Digital Arts & Sciences. Amsterdam Class 11 Alumnus, THNK School of Creative Leadership. Ex Omnicom, Wargaming. Distance Runner, 3800 km in 2022.

My professional purpose is to help organizations clearly define where to play and how to win to achieve their business growth objectives.

I have 15 years of hands-on experience working in global advertising agency networks (Omnicom Group: BrandScience, OMD, BBDO, Proximity), industry-leading technology companies (Wargaming, Yango Group, EPAM Systems), and with fastest-growing B2B start-ups (Whatagraph).

My expertise spans brand marketing, partnerships, customer experience, product management, analytics, strategy, and operations. This cross-functional background gives me a comprehensive understanding of business, enabling me to help companies organize for the next wave of growth and transformation.

Being an entrepreneur at heart, I've built new cross-functional teams from scratch, developed new capabilities, and integrated new ways of working into existing business processes. I’ve led organizational design efforts, directed recruitment, leadership development initiatives, and acted as a player-coach, working with teams to cultivate a high-performing culture and deliver the best work. 

I love numbers and facts, but I also understand the power of creativity and stories that multiply results. I prioritize growth over the status quo and enjoy working in multicultural cross-functional environments at scale.

During my time living in London, Moscow, Nicosia, and Amsterdam, I’ve been privileged to collaborate with top talent from diverse cultural backgrounds on strategic initiatives across multiple sectors: CPG, Retail, Telecom, Fintech, Healthcare, Entertainment and Sports, Education, GAAS/F2P Video Games, ML/AI, Digital Media, Streaming Services, Marketplaces, and B2B SaaS.

My work has been recognized with industry awards, including FWA, AWWWARDS, Webby Awards, Clio Awards, WARC Effectiveness Awards, and Effie Awards.

My core strengths (CliftonStrengths) are Strategic, Activator, Relator, Connectedness, and Responsibility. 

I often act as an educator, keynote speaker, and jury member at global award shows (Webby Awards, WARC Awards) and conferences (IIEX - Insight Innovation Exchange, ESOMAR, Digital Dimensions, International Creativity Festivals). I'm often invited to design and facilitate workshops and sprints at in-company planning events. 

Since 2021, I've finished over ten marathons, including those in Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin, Athens, Istanbul, and Chicago. These endurance milestones remind me of the importance of having a vision, setting clear objectives, following a process, putting in the work, embracing failures, learning, and improving.

Cognizant

As Associate Director and Technical Delivery Practice Lead (continuing the role I held at Devbridge before its acquisition by Cognizant), I work with product and engineering leads to scale delivery capabilities - and to help them foster empowered, outcome-driven team cultures.

In this role, I support a community of around 90 project and delivery leads across Lithuania and Poland, helping them evolve engineering, product, and client engagement practices. Our broader engineering community includes 500–600 engineers.

I led the development of technical, product, and client engagement maturity models that help teams assess and continuously improve delivery capabilities and team health. I also advocate for modern engineering practices - including Agile, Lean, DevOps/DevSecOps, and Domain-Driven Design - and encourage teams to integrate security and software assurance practices using frameworks like OWASP SAMM and DSOMM.

I work closely with delivery and engineering leads to drive continuous learning, cross-team knowledge sharing, and practical improvements that strengthen both team effectiveness and product outcomes.

Associate Director, Technical Delivery Practice Lead

Devbridge

See Cognizant description - role continued under Cognizant following acquisition of Devbridge.

Technical Delivery Practice Lead

As a Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead at Devbridge, I led cross-functional engineering teams building high-quality software products for clients.

At that time, I focused on ensuring high-quality product delivery for clients - serving as an individual contributor, tech lead, scrum master, and engineering team lead (developers and testers). I worked to enable effective team collaboration, delivery quality, and mentored engineers in their personal growth.

One example: I helped transform a previously unstable project - moving from short-term 3-month Statements of Work with high attrition risk, to long-term yearly SoWs with improved team retention and satisfaction. I also suggested a product feature that replaced programmatic report configuration with a self-managed UI, cutting report configuration time from weeks to seconds and greatly improving customer experience.

Senior Software Engineer and Team Lead

Joined Devbridge as a senior individual contributor after a decade of technical focus. Initially focused on hands-on engineering and product delivery, while gradually taking on informal team leadership responsibilities - which led to my transition into a formal Team Lead role.

Senior Software Engineer

Adform

At Adform, I contributed to building and scaling a real-time DSP/RTB system, helping the team adopt Agile practices, CI/CD, and NoSQL at scale - foundational experiences that continue to shape my approach to modern product engineering.

Earlier in my career, I built a strong foundation in software engineering, systems thinking, customer focus, and problem solving across diverse industries. This mindset continues to drive how I help teams experiment, learn, and deliver value today.

AB bankas "Snoras"

I’m an engineering leader who helps product teams build great products - and great teams.

I focus on empowering cross-functional teams to deliver value continuously, sustainably, and at scale. I believe in creating environments where clarity, trust, autonomy, and continuous learning drive both team growth and product success.

My leadership style is open, direct, honest, and growth-oriented. I advocate engineering and product practices that connect deeply with outcomes: Domain-Driven Design, DevOps/DevSecOps, XP, Agile, Lean, Outcome-Driven Innovation, JTBD, and fast experimentation before scaling. I help teams connect engineering work to business value through tools like 5 Why’s, Lean product charters, North Star metrics, VMOSA, Wardley Mapping, ODI, and JTBD.

Security and software assurance are critical parts of modern engineering. I encourage teams to adopt frameworks like OWASP SAMM and DSOMM to continuously evolve their practices.

With a background in building and scaling complex systems and products, I bring systems thinking, customer focus, and a strong sense of curiosity to every team I work with. I love seeing product organizations not only deliver better products - but also become places where great engineers want to grow and thrive.
