Born and raised in Russia, I relocated to the Czech Republic in 2010 to pursue my passion for open-source and join SUSE Linux.

After SUSE, I’ve worked with leading firms in big data, video streaming, consulting, and finance.

I eventually joined Upbound to spearhead the control plane revolution in cloud-native infrastructure.
