Feb 2017 – present

2017-2019 — shifting the business model from a purely wholesale operation towards an SMB client base (my best decision so far). Tuning the vendor portfolio (got rid of the wilting and the useless). Optimizing the team (fired everyone), increasing the client base (did I, really?).

2020-2024 — introducing the client-oriented development. Design and deployment of custom features and automations for both the team and the clients: financial alerting, technical alerting, fast-glance analysis tools. Well, this involves a bit of coding — it's fun and going well so far. See you in 2025!
