My name is Aleksey Cherenkevich. I’m a Prague-based Senior Inter­face Designer with 20 years of expe­ri­ence, including 12 years at Yandex — one of the world’s top-20 websites.

With a background in develop­ment, I collaborate effectively with engineer­ing teams and design with implemen­tation in mind. I focus on hands-on work as an individual contributor, special­izing in B2B products, complex systems, UGC plat­forms, and data visualization.
