In 12 years i've passed a way from a programmer to founder of international digital products development company Magora Systems. At the end of 2022 the Company entered the top 3 leading mobile application development companies in the UK. My company is my soul. Digital technologies. it solutions amd development - are things that inspired me for all my life. During its existence, Magora has implemented more than 200 projects for both giant companies and startups, opened offices in two countries, and took the top positions in industry ratings. After graduation from the university i got my first position as a developer in ARL Сonsulting Company. This experience let me understood how a custom software development company works from the inside. Initially, i began my independent work with two directions. The first direction was the development of own b2b portal for small businesses, the second direction was actively developing software development services (web applications and portals).The development of own portal was the main focus and all the funds earned on custom projects were invested in it. With a small group of like-minded people we worked without days off and holidays for 12 hours a day.

As a result serious work has been done (the development was carried out for more than a year) and many interesting things have been implemented, one of them is that the portal runs on Microsoft Azure Cloud. The company did another major project for the Sydney Railway. A solution was needed to automate the troubleshooting of railways and facilitate the work of technical engineers. We created an alarm system for trains, it informed about stops and transport problems. Our software engineers have developed a system that extracts data from RFID installed in transponders, and then generated reports from them. The London office has sold several projects to Saudi Arabia and the Arab Emirates, I would like to develop cooperation.

Magora consistently receives development requests just weeks after a new product launches. As a result, i am very sensitive to trends. The market for smart technology is flourishing, and i predict that the demand will continue to grow within the next ten years. Remote control technology, artificial intelligence, applications for content creation—all of these are trends that I am working at with my company now.

My area of expertise: Apps and Software, Software Services & Platforms, Virtual - Experiences & Features, Websites - Connections, Entertainment, Features, Services.
