Today: Oleg Oksyuk.

While working in startups on the engineering side I created cool things like Adobe Flash Player for Embedded Linux and MPEG/H264 Video Streaming with Fast Forward and Rewind without bitrate increase (according to Apple engineers that was impossible). Then I started to found startups and switched to the business side with many ideas that failed after fast trials of 2-6 months (including Ethereal Lite - Create art with your bare fingers in the air) and modest success in LiveExpert (an expert advice marketplace). I've been working on AllRight, an online English School for kids for the last 4 years, where I've built the team to 80 people ... not counting 700 teachers.

Today: Madhuri Maram.

Madhuri is a a co-founder at Xperian, an ecosystem for makers. She has 8 years of experience in design and started out as a UI Designer. She slowly fell in love with HCI, exploring the UI side first. Then she graduated to handle UX and Product Design and finally Product Management. Now she is choosing her "second innings," to be fully dedicated to no-code solutions.

She has a zillion ideas in her head at all times and is also a fan of the startup world. So, putting together ideas + tinkering and trends is something she genuinely loves.
