I met Oleg while working on a project to transfer infrastructure between clouds. He is a very charismatic leader who manages a team of top specialists. He quickly gets to the heart of the matter and honours agreements.

I had the pleasure of meeting Oleg at the Friflex IT meetup on the implementation of AI in business. Since then, we have been in touch on professional matters. I would like to express my appreciation of Oleg's extensive practical experience in the IT field, his broad outlook, and his excellent understanding of current trends in technology and team management.

Oleg's broad outlook enables him to gain a deep understanding of the problems facing an entire industry, be it the library sector or any other. His mathematical education enables him to develop systemic solutions that are effective for decades. His management skills also make him a true leader of change.

I can highly recommend Oleg as an excellent professional, an absolute confident leader with outstanding hard and soft skills. He knows how to create an incredibly productive atmosphere in both a giant company and a startup.

Oleg is someone who brings mathematical precision to calculations, quick thinking to decision-making, and responsiveness to communication. When a task is unclear, he finds a way through it and guides the team towards achieving results.
Alexey Korovin

Oleg has a very rare talent: he can digitise areas that are difficult to digitise. Take, for example, the task of digitising tens of millions of storage units in Russia's second-largest library. Or how do you create a single, convenient IT space out of a patchwork of dozens of bespoke systems? Oleg did it, and that is his strength.
Andrey Koptev

Oleg is highly experienced self-driven IT professional with wide range of hands-on skills and deep theoretical background.
Alexander Khokhlov
