SCIENCE AND LIFE

​

I’ve been working at Broadview for 10 years. We develop software for television corporations around the world—for pretty much every major TV network out there. Broadcast scheduling, contracts, all kinds of complex bureaucracy and accounting, advertisers and their paperwork—we’ve been helping with all that for many years. Though my background is in chemistry.

​

Back in the 2000s, I created a video tag editor for AVI files. It was pretty popular and was translated into 15 languages. I also built a digital archive for Nauka i Zhizn (Science and Life magazine). I’ve been reading that magazine since I was seven. I was always a subscriber, even in Canada. So for me, it was a huge honor to create a digital archive of that magazine—spanning thirty years.

​

I now live and work in Canada. I left Russia before the war—made the final decision back in 2015, after Boris Nemtsov was assassinated. I’m politically active and take what’s happening in Russia very personally. I had a chance to get Hungarian citizenship, so I emigrated there first in 2018, then later to Canada.

Canada is incredibly supportive of tech entrepreneurship. When I tell people I’m involved in a startup, they light up. Random people on the street, friends in IT—everyone is super supportive.

3D STUFF IS HELL

​

In the ArtCracker app, I work as an artificial intelligence expert. Right now, my main headache is the recognition of buildings and sculptures—basically, three-dimensional objects. That’s a whole different challenge.

Flat works—like paintings—AI handles fairly well. But 3D stuff? That’s hell. Sculptures and installations, both inside museums and out—they’re a nightmare for developers.
