Vlady Yakovenko

polyterative — Bologna, Italy

Designer with a strong engineering background, mostly interested in complex interfaces, technical systems, and tools that need both structural clarity and visual judgment.

I still make music and visuals, and that practice feeds back into the software work. The through-line is fairly consistent: systems, notation, timing, interaction, and tools that are shaped around how people actually work.

Now

Experience

Product Designer

XTEL

Leading redesign work for advanced analytics software, turning dense enterprise workflows into clearer product directions and a more coherent design language. My engineering background helps keep proposals realistic, implementation-aware, and developer-ready from the start.

Senior Frontend Developer

XTEL

Owned frontend architecture for promotions-optimization interfaces used in FMCG and retail contexts. Worked across Angular, RxJS, TypeScript, and SCSS while bridging data science, product, and UX on data-heavy workflows where clarity really matters.

Founder

Patcher.xyz

Built and continue to run an open-source product from concept to community: product direction, UX, frontend architecture, backend choices, releases, and user feedback loops. A long-running proof that I like owning hard problems end to end.

Frontend / Android / UX Engineer

Otre Solutions

Worked across manufacturing software for warehouse management, supply-chain planning, and production monitoring. The common thread was translating operational complexity into interfaces people could actually use day to day.

Electronic Music Producer & Live Performer

Freelance

Long-running creative practice in experimental techno, modular synthesis, and live AV performance. It is separate from my software work, but it strongly informs how I think about systems, rhythm, interaction, and tooling.

Android Engineer

GESP

Early R&D work on a computer-vision project aimed at speeding up logistics data entry — a short engagement, but a useful introduction to product constraints outside straightforward CRUD apps.
