vSelf Founder, Web3 Innovator, Educator, UK Global Talent
I hold a PhD in applied mathematics, specializing in complex systems and evolutionary game theory. During the last 10 years, I've been in academia, combining teaching at the Graduate School of Business and research in evolutionary modeling. Since 2017, I've been involved in the blockchain and web3 ecosystem, where I see a lot of potential. Founded a Community-as-a-Service platform vSelf - a web3 solution for data ownership problem. Worked on & advised blockchain projects in areas like tokenomics, strategy, and web3 architecture. Created and taught courses on Blockchain Applications in Business, Mathematical Modelling for Business Informatics, System Analysis, and Business Process Modelling with more than 1500 students attending. Supervised over 100 student projects in business informatics at HSE. Co-authored a book on Mathematical Modelling of Evolutionary Processes and more than 15 research papers.

Projects

vSelf

vSelf is a Web3 growth and engagement platform built around Telegram Mini Apps and the TON ecosystem. It helps startups and brands design gamified campaigns, automate reward distribution, and track engagement in real time. As Founder & CEO, I’ve led vSelf from concept to beta launch, overseeing product strategy, system design, and go-to-market execution. The platform has already powered campaigns for Web3 communities, integrating tools like quests, referral loops, and tokenized rewards.See More

vStudio

vStudio is a loyalty and engagement infrastructure for brands that sell through social channels. Positioned as a Web2.5 solution, it seamlessly blends familiar Web2 user experiences with Web3 ownership models. The platform enables brands to launch NFT- and SBT-powered loyalty programs, turning customer interactions into verifiable digital assets. This creates new ways to reward engagement, retain audiences, and build communities directly on top of social platforms, without the friction of traditional blockchain onboarding. See More

Hashd0x

Decentralized Evidence & Data Verification Platform Hashd0x is a tactical dApp designed to combat disinformation by enabling instant, spoof-proof on-chain evidence capture. It registers metadata and content hashes via decentralized storage (EVM/Ethereum/Swarm), providing forensic tools for verifying authenticity in real time. I contributed to the technical architecture and execution, including a mobile application that allowed users to capture images during installations and record them on-chain as immutable evidence. The project gained international recognition, winning the Lumen Prize and the Austrian Blockchain Award, and being featured by Ars Electronica (STARTS Prize) and the Austrian Blockchain Center.See More
