Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSergei Lega is a Lead Product Manager with 7 years of hands-on experience building API-first platforms, cloud-native architectures, and developer-facing products across startups and large enterprises. He has repeatedly driven measurable outcomes—doubling API adoption at Avito, improving availability to 99.95% for mission-critical gateways, and halving time-to-market for integrations at Leroy Merlin—while blending solution architecture with product strategy. As a co-founder and CTO at Kinetic he shipped an ML-enabled serverless MVP that won a London Business School innovation award and secured the company’s first commercial client within four months. Comfortable as both a technical leader and certified Scrum Master, he hires and scales engineering teams, implements dual-track agile, and embeds CI/CD and governance to reduce incidents and support load. Now at Wallarm he focuses on API security and platform-level productization, bringing rare depth across API gateways, cloud deployments, and developer experience. His background in applied physics (MIPT) and early low-level work at Intel and Samsung underpin a pragmatic, systems-oriented approach to product decisions.
