I've spent 20 years building technology that operates at serious scale, mostly in fintech and high-load systems.

I started by running UPDG, a development agency that served major film studios and Fortune 500 companies. From there I co-founded ComCard, a fintech startup in the corporate charge card space where I built credit underwriting systems and banking infrastructure, securing partnerships with MasterCard and major card-issuing banks.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I joined one of the largest non-bank PPP lenders in the country as the first engineering hire and scaled the operation from zero to processing $12.5 billion in loans, serving over 800,000 independent contractors. At peak, we handled 50,000 applications a day. I built and led a 10+ person engineering team, designed the KYC and fraud prevention architecture, and created compliance reporting systems for federal oversight.

Originally from Kyiv, Ukraine, I moved to the US in 2013 and am now based in Austin, Texas.

Today I'm building Vianido, the home for nonprofit data, impact, and trust. There are almost 2 million nonprofits in the US, and too often the best work is the hardest to find—information lives across old websites, scattered filings, and social feeds that only reach people who already follow along. Vianido builds standardized, living public profiles for nonprofit organizations, combining official IRS records with public and private data so that donors, advisors, foundations, and increasingly AI assistants can understand and trust an organization from current information instead of a stale homepage. It's the kind of problem I love: making a complex system accessible to real people.
