Summary
Edward Igushev is a seasoned software engineer and entrepreneur with 11 years of experience building distributed systems, ML platforms, and data products from founding teams to enterprise scale. As Co-Founder & CTO of Created by Humans he is now focused on legal and technical infrastructure that enables rights licensing for AI training data, after selling TrueSource — a data monetization stack he co-founded and led as CEO. His background includes founding-engineer roles at Glean and being one of the early platform engineers at Google, where he helped design distributed data-processing infrastructure. Edward combines deep platform-level engineering (search, infrastructure, ML/data pipelines) with product-led startup experience and a track record of turning data and search expertise into commercial products. Based in the Bay Area, he pairs a Master's in Computer Science from Bauman MSTU with a pragmatic founder’s mindset and experience working across ex-Google, ex-LinkedIn, and ex-Microsoft teams. An investor- and customer-backed founder, he tends to focus on hard technical problems that intersect law, data rights, and AI model quality.
