A technology and WordPress person turned into CEO. I envision AI automation making the efforts of web developers more effective and boosting business growth.
Since childhood I loved studying science and math. Later it turned into being a professional researcher, an astrophysicist. But at some point in my life, I came back from academy to industry and then went deep into WordPress and web development. I enjoyed working with talented engineers building plugins and themes for WordPress, and helping not only in engineering but also in establishing teams and processes for the growth of engineers and a company as a whole. Seeing a great potential in automation of web development, I spent a few years developing AI website builder, a technology that can help millions of engineers and designers to focus on truly creative and important things and to leave routine and time-consuming tasks to the algorithms.
Now being a CEO I care about a delicate balance between technology and people. I am passionate about building a company with a great culture which turns great ideas into powerful technological achievements while constantly empathizing with the community.

At Symantec, Derek was responsible $1.7 billion of revenues and 200+ employees globally. There, he learned about value-based management from Jack Welch’s protégé Steve Bennett.
