About
I've spent 15+ years in software and more than a decade in iGaming — from social games in Kyiv to around 100 slot games at Skywind to leading R&D in Cyprus. Since late 2022 I've used large language models every day, and I build them into products operators actually use.
People I work with call me motivated, innovative and collaborative. I report to the CTO and lead our AI and iGaming projects.
I mentor AI startups, and I build small iOS apps — lately, times-tables trainers.
