# Dmitry Bukhensky > Senior Project Manager | Delivery Leader | Driving Predictable Delivery, Quality & Engineering Velocity Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/dmitrybukhensky Hi, I’m Dmitry — a Senior Project Manager and Delivery Leader focused on helping engineering teams deliver predictably, efficiently, and with high quality. Over the past 9+ years, I’ve led complex projects across AI, enterprise software, blockchain, and e-commerce. My core strengths lie in stabilizing engineering velocity, improving release consistency, and building scalable delivery processes that reduce chaos and align teams. In my recent roles, I improved release predictability from 70%→95%, increased quality to 98% bug-free, and raised team satisfaction from 6.3→8.7 while leading cross-functional teams of 20–40+ engineers. Companies bring me in when they need clarity, structure, and execution discipline — whether it’s launching a mission-critical AI product, managing complex multi-team dependencies, or restoring predictability after a vendor transition. I work closely with engineering leads to streamline SDLC, strengthen collaboration, and ensure product delivery is measurable, repeatable, and reliable. Let’s connect: dmitrybukhensky@gmail.com ## Work Experience ### Senior Project Manager @ Kanda Software Jan 2023 – Present | Boston, Massachusetts, United States • Improved release predictability from 70%→95% by redesigning SDLC workflows, introducing QA gating, and aligning engineering + product across three delivery streams. • Increased product quality from 72%→98% bug-free by implementing structured QA processes, cross-team integration testing, and release validation checkpoints. • Stabilized engineering velocity (<5% deviation) by introducing capacity planning, predictable iteration rhythms, and dependency mapping across backend, frontend, mobile, QA, and data teams. • Led 3 cross-functional engineering teams (40+ engineers), improving execution consistency, collaboration throughput, and roadmap delivery accuracy. • Restored predictable delivery within 3 months after a full vendor transition by establishing operational rhythm, clarifying ownership boundaries, and rebuilding cross-team interfaces. • Partnered with engineering leadership to build KPI dashboards for velocity, quality, release performance, and engineering throughput, improving visibility and decision-making speed. • Drove organizational process improvements by aligning engineering, QA, and product on delivery rituals, reducing operational chaos and improving team satisfaction from 6.3→8.7. ### Senior Project Manager @ Neiro.ai Jan 2022 – Jan 2023 | San Francisco Bay Area • Delivered a mission-critical AI product launch on time by coordinating 20 engineers across ML, backend, infra, QA, and product under aggressive, investor-defined deadlines. • Introduced SDLC structure into a high-chaos startup environment, improving delivery forecasting accuracy and reducing unplanned work. • Improved engineering execution speed by establishing iteration rhythms, backlog discipline, and cross-functional alignment across research and product teams. • Removed delivery blockers by

cross-team alignment processes that reduced delivery friction and improved throughput across protocol, game, and infrastructure teams. • Improved on-time milestone delivery by defining release gates, mapping technical dependencies, and facilitating architecture alignment discussions. • Built execution structure for distributed engineering teams, reducing ambiguity and ensuring consistent progress across multiple project tracks. • Improved risk detection and mitigation by implementing structured program-level risk logs and escalation workflows. ### Head of Business Unit @ AIC Jan 2022 – Jan 2022 • Delivered a $2.5M+ enterprise system by leading engineering, product, design, and analytics teams, ensuring architectural alignment and predictable execution. • Improved delivery quality by implementing analytics-driven decision-making and establishing structured review cycles across engineering and design. • Increased organizational capability by performing skill audits, restructuring teams, and improving competency alignment for complex enterprise work. • Reduced operational inefficiency by introducing SDLC structure, unified delivery rituals, and cross-team coordination frameworks. • Expanded the business unit’s offering by launching new product analytics services, increasing revenue potential and diversifying the portfolio. • Enabled consistent delivery outcomes by implementing financial monitoring, workload planning, and forecasting processes. ### Chief Product Officer | Founder @ Bloomz Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 | Moscow, Moscow City, Russia • Scaled an e-commerce platform to 20 cities and 500+ partners by leading engineering, design, marketing, and product functions. • Raised $3M angel investment by building a data-driven product strategy, financial model, and clear execution roadmap for market expansion. • Improved delivery reliability by establishing end-to-end SDLC workflows, reducing rework, dependency failures, and production bottlenecks. • Built and managed a 25-person cross-functional team, improving collaboration, delivery speed, and product iteration cycles. • Increased product quality by implementing hypothesis validation pipelines and decision-making frameworks based on analytics and research. • Improved operational throughput by optimizing production workflows and aligning engineering output with market and growth objectives. ### Chief Executive Officer | Founder @ Hands App Jan 2018 – Jan 2020 | Moscow, Russian Federation • Improved mobile product delivery reliability by designing and implementing a complete SDLC pipeline from sales → discovery → engineering → QA → release. • Built and led a 26-person engineering, design, and operations team, increasing throughput and cross-team collaboration. • Reduced production inefficiencies by introducing architecture standards, QA workflows, and DevOps practices. • Improved financial predictability by creating project-level and company-level financial models, increasing margin visibility. • Increased delivery speed by optimizing task flow, introducing iterative delivery practices, and reducing cross-team misalignment. • Enabled company growth by building a multi-channel sales funnel and winning multiple government tenders through predictable delivery processes. ### Design Lab Project Manager @ Redmadrobot Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Moscow, Russian Federation
