Led engineering through 3x headcount growth. Designed team topology across devs, QA, DevOps, PM (~20 people). Transitioned ICs to Team Leads. Built remote-first culture with continuous delivery (100+ releases/year, feature flags, per-PR environments).
Hi, I'm Dionis 👋🏻
I help US founders turn their remote Eastern European devs into a real engineering org.
You hired developers in Ukraine or Poland. But without structure, they're contractors, not a team. PRs pile up, deadlines slip, and you can't tell if it's the people, the process, or the 8-hour time zone gap.
I've been on both sides. 2x CTO managing engineering across US, Germany, and Ukraine. I speak the language, literally (English 🇺🇸 German 🇩🇪 Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Russian). And I've rebuilt broken EE teams twice.
Based in Europe with a US LLC. I set up your engineering org, fix what's broken, and work myself out of the job.
How I Work
See all services- Setup - Turn your first EE hires into a real engineering org
- Fix - Your EE team exists but isn't delivering. Let's fix that
- Step Out - I work myself out of the job. That's the goal
