Summary
Andrei Riaskov is a versatile tech adviser and inventor with 12 years of hands-on experience across blockchain, full-stack JavaScript, systems programming in C/C++, and JVM ecosystems. He co-founded Maroo (Y Combinator S21 alumni) and has led engineering teams while building production Ethereum/solidity micropayment systems, smart contracts and Node.js backends. His background spans everything from front-end 3D/WebGL interfaces to low-level compiler work and even his own language (IVL), reflecting deep cross-layer technical fluency. Andrei pairs academic rigor — PhD studies in computational mathematics and a masters in bioinformatics — with practical product delivery for startups and research labs. Comfortable in open-source and systems administration contexts, he blends rapid prototyping with careful architecture and a history of shipping complex, multidisciplinary projects. Based in Tbilisi, he remains active in blockchain engineering and available for advisory roles.
