🎈
Nice to meet you! If you're here, you're likely checking the vibe. So here I am, just real me.
Craft is my passion. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.
Laser-focus.
Ethics.
Thought-freedom.
Foresight.
Max-lean.
Interdisciplinarity
Timings.
Collaboration… If these resonate, we'll get along.
I work smart and learn fast.
I believe in improving lives at scale, not 1 by 1.
My life belongs to family, friends, like-minded people, craft, and Humanity.
Nicolas Roerich
is my favourite artist.
I feel I live a
conscious life
I never
stop

Read “Lean Analytics” by Alistair Croll and Ben Yoskovitz instead. Highly recommend!

Craft is my passion. Once I felt I needed more means to materialize my thoughts, I applied (twice) until I got in. After 1.5 years I took academic leave.
I met people who changed how I see things. Thank you Nikol, Vanya, Misha, Sergey Petrovich, Alexander Sergeevich, and everyone else.
