Senior🎓
Top SchoolArtem Russakovskii is a founder and serial tech entrepreneur based in Oakland, California, with over a decade of hands-on software engineering and product-building experience. Born in Kharkiv and educated in Computer Science and Russian at UC Davis, he built and scaled AndroidPolice into a top Android publication and later launched APKMirror, a highly trusted alternative app repository. He combines deep web and systems engineering skills—spanning PHP, C++, MySQL, scalability, and Android development—with editorial and operational leadership, having overseen teams of 25+ and sold a business to Valnet. As principal of Illogical Robot LLC and beerpla.net he continues to ship consumer-facing projects, consult, and invest across early-to-late stage startups. Less obvious: his background blends technical ops and content strategy, letting him uniquely optimize product trust and distribution in mobile ecosystems.
