After years of competing and winning, I founded OrangeHack, an agency for organizing hackathons and technical competitions.

I got tired of tracking my life. That pushed me to build Kira, a system that removes the operational load, handles large cross-domain tasks with the full context of my life, and helps on the spot, not just in chat.

It started with a top-1 at LCT and the Moscow Mayor’s Prize. I founded Future of Medtech, grew MedPaint into a medical annotation product, then built HealthSpine, an AI service for detecting spine pathologies from X-rays.

I speak at conferences and hackathons about AI, pitching, and product work, mentor teams, judge solutions, and keep public notes in DataDrugs.
