Summary
Roman Volkov is a Development Team Lead and engineering manager with 12+ years of hands-on experience building mobile and backend products across AI photo editors, computer vision, NLP, fintech and productivity tools. He combines deep technical expertise—shipping on-device ML, graphics rendering, and custom CI/CD—with people leadership, hiring and career ladder design to scale teams rapidly (reduced hiring time from 90 to 27 days at Linearity). Roman has delivered high-impact consumer features at scale (real-time photo translation, Lensa/Lensa AI launch, document scanner and smart camera integrations) while also running infrastructure improvements like in-house CI on bare-metal. Equally comfortable in Big Tech and startups, he moves between hands-on engineering and strategic planning to align product, ML and platform roadmaps. A prolific mentor and content creator, he publishes two YouTube channels with frequent live-coding and industry guidance to share practical engineering knowledge. Based in Germany with work authorization, he blends product-focused technical leadership with a track record of shipping ML-driven mobile experiences.
