iGaming Product Ownership
6+ years as Product Owner and Product Lead on the B2B provider side of iGaming (live casino and slots). Worked at Evolution, Yggdrasil Gaming, Proxy Live Solutions and Winfinity. Owned products end to end - from market research and specs to launch and post-launch support. As Product Lead at Yggdrasil ran three teams at once.
Promotional Systems & Bonus Mechanics
Built an event-based reward mechanic for live casino from scratch (Dynamic Rewards). The first Betway campaign gave a 2.5x increase in player participation. Earlier worked as BA and acting PO on Evolution’s promotion system (Real Time Rewards, Reward Games). Owned BOOST promo tools at Yggdrasil. Experience with bonus money, free play, rewards, jackpots and RNG-based reward logic.
Backoffice & Internal Tools
Built and redesigned backoffice platforms for B2B iGaming providers, used by operators, aggregators and internal teams (risk, support, operations, compliance). Focus on operator self-service, fewer support requests and faster configuration changes. At Yggdrasil led Backoffice 2.0 - a new standalone service replacing the legacy BO, with modular architecture other teams could build on. At Winfinity owned the full backoffice end to end, from risk and player management tools to roles, permissions and reporting.

Regular work with C-level, operators and aggregators: demos, roadmap updates, onboarding and integration decisions. Consulted operators on probability calculations for custom campaign conditions.
