work

I like exploring distinctive interfaces: office printer menus, late-’80s computers, Symbian phones from the early 2000s. Each has its own rules, personality and purpose.

PDF resumes and polished personal websites are familiar ways to introduce yourself. I wanted to present my experience through interfaces designed for something else entirely.

Below are my resume and portfolio in different universes.

about me

Ivan Vukolov

Before moving into voice products, I worked in news, video and special projects. At VK, I progressed from editor to head of content for Marusya, its voice assistant. At MTS, I built a content team from scratch.

I’m interested in how the whole product works. What is someone trying to do? Where do they get stuck? Why does a bot’s answer miss the point, and what can we change? A content team can help with all of these questions.

When the team takes on an unfamiliar task, I try it myself first. That helps me estimate the effort, understand what we need to agree on with other teams and work out what the editors will need. Then I set up the process and delegate responsibility.

My team currently works on MTS’s VoiceTech products and Zashchitnik, a spam and fraud-call protection service within Trust & Safety.
