Hi, I’m Alexey.

Professionally, I like building products for millions of people with no external funding and small teams. For leisure, I like analogue photography.

I built a privacy-conscious translator app Mate Translate with 1M+ active users. I tried to launch a luxury watch brand Affe. In fact, we built (& shut down at some point; 1, 2, 3) several apps at Gikken.
