KD/ technical product manager
Technical Product Manager · Sofia, BG

Kristina DarakchievaBetween infrastructure and product.

Building on a strong foundation in the banking and fintech sectors (Commerzbank DTC, Worldline, Amdocs) across technical management, CI/CD, Disaster Recovery, and observability (as a Dynatrace SME), I am pivoting this technical background fully into Product Management. Currently, I am building my own AI-driven product from the ground up - the educational platform uchiiigrai.app, live in its MVP stage. I leverage Vibe Coding, rapidly test product hypotheses, and iterate on features based on user needs. I combine deep knowledge of infrastructure with a product-driven mindset to bridge the gap between business stakeholders and engineering teams. I'm open to roles in Technical Product Management, Product Ownership and Technical Support & Operations.

// About me

Technical background

ITIL v3, Linux/Unix, monitoring and technical response for production financial applications. I know what the system looks like from the inside before I write requirements for it.

Technical management

Coordination of dependencies and delivery for cell products in a regulated banking environment - CI/CD deployments, Disaster Recovery tests and Dynatrace observability. A technical role, not prioritization or strategy.

AI product building

Vibe Coding as a real product tool: I built and shipped a live educational platform myself, managing it as a real product.
