NIKITA.
About

Ten years of shipping product.

I'm a product engineer who lives at the seam of design and engineering. Over the past decade I've helped startups go from zero to one — owning the loop from customer calls to design system to production frontend, most recently for AI agentic products.

Right now I'm a Founding Product Engineer at Zaro. Before that, at Convergence I was the founding design engineer and frontend lead — we were acquired by Salesforce in 2025. I also led frontend at Archive (AI social listening) and Accel Health (AI healthcare hiring), and built data-heavy interfaces at dMetrics. I care about craft, ownership, and making AI legible enough that people actually trust it.
