Erik Tagirov · Product Owner · IT Project Manager

From complex requirements to working digital products.

I work with business, engineering and compliance teams to turn unclear requests into requirements, decisions and releases. I also build AI-enabled workflows for product work.

Selected work

Two examples of how I work with teams to solve product and delivery problems.

TrustChange · Product ownership · KYC onboarding

KYC onboarding that could pause and resume

New compliance requirements meant that every customer needed verification. The challenge was to support both individual and business customers without assuming that everyone could complete onboarding in one sitting.

I led the process design with Compliance and Engineering, including the external provider, progress handling and customer guidance.

For business customers, an assistant could prepare the documents while the director completed personal verification later. The process needed to preserve progress between those steps.

What we delivered

A staged onboarding flow with separate B2C and B2B requirements, preserved progress and clear next steps.

How I approach product work

One onboarding process. More than one person.

Company preparation and personal verification do not always happen in the same session.

Company assistant

Prepare the company documents

An assistant can begin the business onboarding and prepare the required information before the director is available.

The document requirements were defined with Compliance.

The product decision: support the hand-off without losing progress.

TrustChange · Product discovery · Card issuing

Narrowing a card product before committing to delivery

We explored virtual and physical cards linked to the existing wallet, initially for both individual and business customers. Before committing engineering capacity, we needed to understand the provider, compliance and operational implications.

I spoke with issuing providers, worked with Compliance, gathered feedback from existing clients and prepared a basic UI prototype. I compared the B2C and B2B flows and mapped their dependencies.

The scope was narrowed to B2B. Ownership later moved to another product in the group where the business context was a better fit.

What changed

A broad idea became a narrower scope with a clearer ownership decision.

AI-generated CVs, grounded in source facts

I designed Tailored CV Local, a Windows application that turns a structured career profile and a vacancy into a tailored CV. The workflow links generated claims to source facts and keeps human review before export.

I defined the product architecture, requirements and verification approach, using AI coding agents for implementation. The work produced a packaged Windows build and included checks with a real local model.

How I work

I adapt the process to the work: deeper analysis where the risk is high, lighter documentation where the problem is already understood.

  1. Understand the problem

    Separate evidence, assumptions and unanswered questions.

  2. Prepare the work

    Agree scope, priorities, acceptance criteria and ownership.

  3. Support delivery and learning

    Resolve questions during implementation and use feedback to decide what comes next.

Financial markets, software delivery and automation

Based in Germany

My career started in financial analysis and trading, then moved into team processes, internal software and product delivery. That background helps me work closely with both business specialists and engineers.

I have worked on trading automation, regulated onboarding, provider integrations and ERP-related workflows. Today, I also design and develop local AI applications and workflows around recurring knowledge-work tasks.
