7+ years turning complex problems into usable products through end-to-end product design and technical fluency.
7+ years turning complex problems into usable products through end-to-end product design and technical fluency.
About me
Most recently, I led product design at a cybersecurity startup as Head of Product Design. With a bachelor’s in finance and credit and an early background in front-end development, I build products that create business impact and solve real user problems. I stay close to engineering through implementation and now contribute directly to the codebase using agentic coding tools.
I'm from Ukraine and Tajikistan, with my family in London, UK. I have the right to live and work in Ukraine, Vietnam and Tajikistan. Throughout my career, I've worked remotely with teams across the US, Europe and Asia, and I work comfortably on UK/European hours while keeping asynchronous collaboration clear and reliable.

Each case study shows how I define product problems, lead solutions, and drive measurable outcomes.

Zara brings clarity to complex product situations and takes ownership beyond design execution. I trust her to navigate ambiguity with calm, structured decision-making.
Felix K.
CEO, Cyberbay
Zara understands engineering constraints and structures her work in a way that makes implementation clear and efficient. Her attention to detail is exceptional — nothing slips past her.
Daniel B.
CTO, Pathtech
Reduced product implementation time by contributing directly within the codebase.

Reduction in Redundant Components
Zara combines strong product thinking with clear communication. She is highly trustworthy and reliable — when something is in her hands, I know it will be handled thoughtfully and delivered on time.
Galina K.
CSO, Cyberbay
Zara took ownership of the project and quickly turned an early concept into a working digital product. Her work allowed us to move forward with the MVP and begin presenting the platform to potential investors.
