Program manager

Hi, I'm Anatoly 👋

I'm a tech guy. After graduating from Bar-Ilan University in Israel with a B.Sc. degree in Math and CoSci, I began my career as a Technical Architect consultant. Before starting Supernova in 2022, I co-founded two other startups – a social drinks/gifting platform and a social game on Facebook. 

Most of my experience lies in integrating existing legacy systems with new products, optimizing and improving complex distributed systems, as well as upgrading and transforming old digital services to the latest technologies, with a vision into the future.

A majority of my consulting work is done with small and medium-sized banks in the U.S., helping them to transform their old online and mobile banking application into new, cutting-edge applications, with integration to third parties APIs and new Fintech advancements.

In 2022, I began my own entrepreneurial journey into the field of IT staffing/consulting with a focus on helping companies seamlessly recruit talent worldwide, creating the ultimate virtual team. 

My dm's are always open! Feel free to reach out about anything IT related or if you just want to say hello.
