I keep product teams shipping — roadmaps, sprints, delivery.

Product coordinator with 2 years of remote experience shipping SaaS, marketplace, and agency products end-to-end. Coordinated dev teams of 5+, maintained roadmaps in Jira and Notion, ran sprint rituals, owned release timelines. Strong at unblocking engineers, translating business goals into specs, and driving features to launch on schedule.

Things I've actually shipped.

Live platforms with real users — not tutorials, not redesigns. Each started from identifying an empty niche and ended with production infrastructure I built and operate.

Work history.

What I work with.

I'm Maxim — I keep product teams shipping.

I'm a product coordinator from Moldova, working remotely with US and European teams. I get genuinely excited about turning ambiguous business goals into clear specs, well-groomed backlogs, and shipping features on schedule.

My work spans product coordination, sprint delivery, stakeholder management, and multilingual UX across EN/RU/RO/UK markets. I've shipped SaaS, marketplace, and agency products end-to-end, and I'm comfortable owning the full lifecycle from discovery to launch.

I think about velocity and alignment from day one — because a feature that doesn't ship doesn't matter. I speak four languages and I'm comfortable coordinating across time zones and cultures.

Let's ship something together.

Looking for a product coordinator who can own roadmaps, run sprint rituals, and keep engineering teams unblocked? I'm open to full-time roles, contract work, and ambitious collaborations.
