I get up every morning to do something I love – build safer, simpler, and better quality future.

There are companies whose products we use every day – like Apple, Walt Disney, etc. Using my own talents, I try to give back to humanity to express gratitude to all those who contributed in the past to our present.

Am currently building: Personalized financial plans at scale

After exiting my previous business, I visited a dozen wealth management companies with one simple question: “I have $100 — can you help me with MY best interests in mind?” only to find out that they all took advantage of my financial illiteracy to push complex, high-fee products, offer vague advice, and prioritize their own gains over my needs.

When I got back home after yet another meeting, I thought: if supercomputers can generate new medicines, images, texts, and voice replies using neural networks, why can’t they also generate and help manage personalized financial plans in a clear and fiduciary way?

I spent the next two years studying the Certified Financial Planner (CFP) program to gain the necessary domain knowledge.

And am now building AI technology that will eradicate financial illiteracy.

2. Admin-friendly supercomputing company – exited in 2015, finished servicing existing warranties in 2019
I founded Admin-friendly supercomputer company to help scientists accelerate research. We took the most popular software used by molecular dynamics, quantum mechanics and bioinformatics scientists, built a modular supercomputer that could run it the fastest, and offered it to researchers as a plug-and-play certified appliance.

As a result, NOVATTE became the upstart David to the Goliaths of traditional supercomputer manufacturers like IBM, Dell and HP. Our supercomputers are so easy to use that customers consistently prefer us every time for their school and research group setups and always tell us that we are a breath of a fresh air to them.

1. Educational company – exited in 2018
Together with my partner we built the Russian Language Centre in Singapore (RLC) – a go-to place so study Russian language and culture. RLC became to Russian language what British Council became to English, Goethe-Institut to German, and Alliance Française to French languages.
