About

My name is Egor. I am a manager with an engineering background in development, starting from the front and back to ML solutions. I wrote the first line of code 15 years ago and launched more than 20 projects with teams of up to 40 people. I easily unite businessmen and engineers through common goals, strategy and vision. I always rely on data. That's why I can subtly feel users through numbers. A "Thank you" from a SberMarket user for whom you made a product is worth a lot. I launched and scaled Ozon, SberMarket, Leroy Merlin and I know for sure that the main capital of any company is people
