Writer
I'm an experienced Project Manager who remembers my beginnings in this role very well. My passion is writing, so I am happy to share my knowledge and insights on my blog, Social Media, and books. I invite you to join me on a journey through the projected oceans and timeliness coasts.
About me
I write books and articles that are like personal training for your career. My writing provides tools and strategies to help you grow professionally, regardless of your experience level.
With inspiration from different areas of life, from sports to technology, I make every word practical and motivating.
My writing is not only a theory but also a practical approach to solving real problems in the dynamic world of IT projects.
I write the way I run projects—without water wave pathos. Each chapter is a sprint with a specific delivery of value. Each post is like an appetizer before a match, warming the mind to action.
My writing approach is based on agile design methods, where fast results delivery and continuous improvement are key.
By analogy with sports, I make each section of my writing feel like an intense workout that builds the reader's strength and endurance, helping them overcome professional obstacles.
Whether through case studies or practical tips, my writing is intended to inform and inspire you to take bold steps in your professional career.
My Portfolio
What is it?
“First 5 PM Days” is a detailed five-day guide that will walk you through the most critical stages of your first week working on a new project. It is a concrete action plan designed to help you avoid decision paralysis and quickly build the foundations for success in your new role. Instead of theorizing, you get a ready-made scenario (Action Plan) that will allow you to organize the chaos, eliminate the stress of uncertainty, and focus on building team trust from day one.
What’s inside?
Inside, you will find precise step-by-step instructions for each day of the week: from learning about the project and meeting with stakeholders (Days 1-2), through workshops on requirements and risk analysis (Day 3), to choosing a methodology, configuring tools, and conducting a professional Kick-Off meeting (Days 4-5). In addition to a task checklist, the material includes tips on “Mindset Shift”: you will learn how to shift your thinking from “I must know everything” to effective information management and how to position yourself as a support rather than a supervisor of the team. What’s inside?
Who is it for?
This is essential reading for junior IT project managers and anyone who takes on a new project and asks themselves, “Where do I start?” It is ideal for people who feel pressured to be perfect from the very beginning and want to turn their fear of being judged into the confidence that comes with a good plan. If you want to achieve quick wins and build your authority, this plan is for you.

The Blameless Project Post-Mortem: How to Learn From Failure Without a Witch Hunt
There’s a silence every Project Manager knows. It’s not the focused silence before a sprint begins, nor the quiet satisfaction after a successful deployment. It’s the heavy, thick silence when the words have just been spoken: “We’re shutting down the project.” You could cut the air with a knife. The stakeholders are furious. The team is demoralised. And you, as the captain of this sinking ship, know the worst is yet to come.
It’s time to conduct a project post-mortem – what some call a ‘project autopsy.’
Managing Shadow IT: A Practical Guide for B2B IT Leaders
It’s Friday, 3:30 PM. You think the worst is behind you. It’s been a tough week: back-to-back meetings, even more decisions to make. You take one last glance at your inbox before heading home, and that’s when it lands. An email from the Head of Marketing. Subject: “Quick question about an integration.” The body reads: “Hi! We’ve built an awesome lead gen app in Bubble.io! It works like a charm. We just need you to hook it up to Salesforce by the end of the day. Cheers!”

PM administrator vs strategist
How Tools, Automation, and AI Unleash the True Potential of IT Project Managers
If you’re an IT Project Manager, you probably know the feeling: instead of managing strategy, you’re putting out fires; instead of removing obstacles, you’re stuck in administration. Frustration is widespread: PMs feel like “meeting admins,” and the lack of access to information blocks their work.
