Daniel Zagidullin · Lead Engineer

I build the product and the team behind it.

Hands-on engineering leader with a design background. I assemble and lead technical teams, write the hard code, put AI into production, and help founders turn an idea into a working business.

Things I’m building for myself

Independent products give me room to explore ideas, make design decisions, and take responsibility for the complete experience.

In development

Feelix

A personal project I’m actively developing.

The whole product needs an owner.

I take responsibility across engineering, people, design, and delivery.

Build the team
I assemble the team and keep engineering, design, and product connected.
Lead the delivery
I turn a brief into a plan and stay accountable through release.
Go deep in the code
Architecture to implementation. Migrations, integrations, the hard systems.
Put AI to work
AI in the product and in how the team ships.
Design the product
Flows, interfaces, the feel of it. I can design it and build it.
Help founders ship
First version, architecture, into people’s hands. Then the team around it.

Selected work

Production AI and advertising systems, a migration for 100,000+ users, and an interactive campaign reaching over a million people.

This work extends beyond individual feature launches. It includes maintaining the systems that support the product as it develops and its customers’ needs change.

The work connected a visible product experience with a substantial data migration. It required sustained ownership beyond shipping the initial authentication changes.

Beyond work

I’ve always made things happen.

A student business forum. A design course. An app for my hometown. The projects outside my job say a lot about how I work inside it.

Projects, people, and a little history
