Product design, interface systems, frontend implementation, creative tooling
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.
Practice
Design and engineering, with most recent work spanning analytics software and self-initiated tools
TypeScript, Angular, RxJS, Figma, HTML/CSS, Supabase, PostgreSQL
Dense software, reactive systems, audiovisual tooling, notation, workflow design

Experience
Product Designer
XTELLeading 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
XTELOwned 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.xyzBuilt 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.
