hi

I'm Sergei.

Studying mathematics 15 years ago gave me not only a foundation, but also a feeling of losing my own identity — which, as I later realised, was rooted in culture and art.

That tension became the thread running through everything I've done since.

Over the past decade, I've led initiatives that rethink how people learn, grow, and connect — from online universities and cultural labs to rural residencies and design-driven educational spaces.

Before 2022, while living in Moscow, I co‑founded Kruzhok, an educational NGO supporting teenagers from rural regions, and Yandex Practicum, which became the largest coding bootcamp in Russia and the CIS and later expanded to the US market under the TripleTen brand.

The work was featured in Forbes (30 Under 30, 2021), Deutsche Welle, Esquire, Meduza (Latvia), Kommersant (Russia), TV Rain (Netherlands), RBC (Russia), and Monocle.

I collaborated with adidas, World Chess, Google, took part in programs curated by the British Council, Impact Hub, Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, and taught web technologies and design at HSE University.
