Roman Pavlenko

A professional who facilitates cross-functional collaboration and leverages team strengths to drive maximum value.

– I have led and contributed to projects centered on the creation and launch of new products. As the owner of a small company, I successfully managed international supplier collaborations to modernize and automate production processes, ensuring they aligned with evolving market demands.

– My hands-on experience gives me a well-rounded perspective on business processes, project tracking, risk management, and delivering results on time and within budget. I’m known for my resourceful problem-solving, structured thinking, and clear, effective communication.

– Consistency in delivering uninterrupted increments to clients, maintaining team well-being to enable sustainable growth, and using data to drive continuous performance improvements are my top priorities. I thrive in projects that involve continuous learning and development.

– Currently, I’m especially focused on web design and am highly interested in projects involving cloud-based technologies. To support my integration in Spain, I completed a course offered by AWS, I got a Certificación AWS Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02).
Through this training, I gained skills relevant to the local job market and refreshed my knowledge in software development and implementation.
The program, which lasted for 6 months, 20 hours a week, included hands-on experience with Python programming, Linux operating systems, cloud architecture, process automation, security, and networking.
