Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Cherniakov is a founder and product-minded technologist with a decade of experience building data-driven platforms, crypto-native marketplaces, and localization tooling across gaming and media. He has led engineering and data teams as CTO and lead data scientist to deliver scalable systems—from a P2P escrow platform that handled 10,000+ pre-mint transactions to AWS-backed ML pipelines that boosted outreach response rates by 40%. Trained in translation and localization, Chris blends language expertise with Python and ML to automate workflows and improve user engagement, having shipped translations for millions of players and productionized LQA and subtitle-splitting algorithms. He co-founded Telemetree to advance analytics in the Telegram/TON ecosystem and now runs LOYAL, applying his combined ops, product, and engineering background to early-stage ventures. Comfortable bridging technical and non-technical stakeholders, he’s as likely to prototype an R Shiny app for scientists as to architect reputation systems for NFT communities. An unconventional communicator who pairs linguistic nuance with quantitative rigor, he often surfaces product insights others miss by translating human behavior into measurable features.
