# Vladimir Chernikov
Technology manager at Deutsche Bank navigating the realities of engineering leadership.

## About

Vladimir Chernikov leads a cross-functional software development team at Deutsche Bank. He built his foundation outside of engineering, spending his early career in business advisory and risk management before moving into tech from the business side.

This path shapes how he views team dynamics and productivity. He speaks openly about the friction engineers face when moving into leadership. Drawing from his own burnout when transitioning to management, he highlights why deciding what to leave undone is the real secret to surviving the role.
