Elias Gutin

- Lead multiple distributed teams, designing scalable processes that deliver clarity, autonomy, and focus in a complex R&D environment. - Built and scaled the Information Development organization from a loose group into a structured, high-performing team, creating career paths and supporting career growth. - Manage end-to-end delivery oversight, stakeholder alignment, and process optimization, ensuring uninterrupted delivery.

- Led the smooth transition from dual contributor-lead role to full Manager by planning and executing the split of a large team into two focused, scalable teams. - Selected and onboarded successors for team leadership positions, ensuring knowledge transfer and continuity.

- Transformed a loose group of independent writers into a cohesive team with defined processes, turning chaos into structure. - Handled dual role combining technical work and leadership: hired, mentored and coached team members, and developed career path framework. - Drove documentation for multiple product areas and served as go-to expert for docs-as-code, Git, and API documentation strategy.

- Drove documentation strategy and execution for multiple complex product areas, partnering with product managers and developers. - Mentored and onboarded team members. - Improved usability across documentation areas through direct feedback, turning technical complexity into clearer content.

- Collaborated on technical documentation for legacy software product and transitioned to driving coverage for the new Dynatrace platform. - Coordinated timely delivery for several major releases while improving usability and templatizing API documentation. - Established early standards that reduced chaos and laid groundwork for later team-wide processes.

- Served as sole technical writer for an online fashion store platform built from scratch with zero existing documentation. - Created complete information architecture and developed comprehensive front-end stack guides, turning total chaos into a clear, usable structure. - Mentored peers on communication and proofread all English content.

- Localized hardware documentation and training materials between English and Russian for National Instruments products.

Created from scratch and maintained help for CAD and data processing software products of the Magnet Office family. Co-created the user manual for the HiPer HR GNSS receiver. Localized four software products for the Russian market.

- Collaborated with a team of technical writers to develop and maintain documentation for the NetCracker OSS system. - Delivered multiple end-to-end documentation projects on tight timelines, bridging technical accuracy with user-friendly structure.

- Managed localization of technical documentation and training materials for the Russian market, coordinating external translators and preparing technical/marketing content. - Coordinated the annual customer conference program: reviewed speaking applications, built a schedule and tracks, compiled a textbook of talks, and facilitated one of the tracks.

- Developed dead-reckoning algorithms for a human-borne personal navigation device using inertial sensors and validated Matlab Simulink simulations against real-world data. - Extended research to medical diagnostics (Parkinson’s and essential tremor) and autonomous two-wheel vehicles. - Co-authored grant reports and published papers.

Thesis: Development of a project management system in a software company (requirements analysis, market analysis, ROI calculations, rollout & support)

- Thesis: Personal navigator with inertial dead reckoning mode (algorithm development, Matlab Simulink simulation, real-world testing). - Aerospace engineering foundation that built my precision-and-reliability mindset still applied in every process and team I lead today.
