Technical Program Manager
Anya Lazarenko

Building systems
that actually
ship.

11 years in tech. 9 at Snap. I turn messy cross-functional chaos into repeatable, measurable processes — and I bring the technical depth to know when something's about to break before it does.

About

Quality-first thinking,
program-scale impact.

I started as a QA engineer and spent nearly a decade at Snap learning that quality is never just testing — it's how a team communicates, how risks get tracked, and how decisions get made under pressure.

Over time, my work shifted: I was managing offshore vendor teams, running sprint ceremonies, setting up Grafana dashboards, doing BigQuery analysis, and coordinating releases across orgs. That's a TPM role by another name.

Now I'm making it official. I'm looking for TPM roles where technical credibility and process discipline actually matter. I use AI tools — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor — to move faster on documentation, analysis, and process design, and I'm comfortable working in agentic workflows.

I'm actively exploring TPM roles — particularly in consumer tech, AR/camera products, or anywhere that values both technical depth and process thinking.
