Daniel Niiaziiev

Leadership & team development I scaled engineering from 40 to 120, with ~70 % of engineers involved in structured mentoring with SMART goals. I established internal L&D and interviewer training to improve hiring and onboarding quality. Delivery & operational resilience During COVID I shifted the team to focused delivery, then formed an Emergency Response Team to ensure service continuity, map responsibilities and break down silos during war time in Ukraine. As Technical Lead/Solutions Architect, I launched five greenfield products with teams of 5-15, handing architecture and hiring to senior leads. Business impact & presales I led presales for ~20 projects, built ~70 work‑breakdown structures and formed a 5‑person presales engineering team. By instituting quality standards across architecture, security and engineering practices, I helped drive 2.5× revenue growth and maintain healthy project delivery. Systems & technical delivery I oversee 20+ critical systems, including NHS platforms (~3 000 daily requests, millions of records) and a multi‑tenant FinTech solution with full DR, monitoring and compliance. I led three AI/ML initiatives - one saves ~800 hours per year—and cut infrastructure costs 2–3× and LLM usage costs by 5×. Metrics & hands‑on leadership I monitor 15+ KPIs (throughput, incidents, mentoring satisfaction, innovation, presales), with 80 % of mentees rating mentoring 5/5. I remain hands‑on: coding and reviewing Python, JS, Ruby across seven live projects. I promote innovation through internal sessions and work with Sales/Marketing to showcase results. Role‑focused strengths • Engineering manager/leader - team scaling, mentoring, delivery, KPI oversight • Director / Head - cross‑functional leadership, presales strategy, resilience • Technical lead / architect – system design, delegation, greenfield execution • Presales leader - scoping, presales team building, revenue enablement
