Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIvan Volovikov is a seasoned technology entrepreneur and CTO with 13 years of hands-on engineering and leadership experience, currently based in Dubai leading Ogram’s platform and AI strategy. He has a track record of building and scaling distributed engineering teams, launching multiple products, and securing over $10M in fundraising while implementing GitOps on GCP/AWS and Kubernetes. Ivan blends deep full-stack and cloud-native expertise—from building Uber-like SaaS and high-throughput media platforms to designing Kafka-backed microservices and custom deep-learning models for fashion discovery. He has repeatedly turned fragmented projects into production-grade systems (Emirates, Scientific Games) and founded startups that achieved profitable exits and regulatory traction in healthcare. Less obvious: he pairs product intuition with practical AI applications, having built an in-house LLM-driven KYC and end-to-end AI strategies for workforce optimization. Trained at Saint Petersburg State Polytechnical University and a Y Combinator Startup School alum, he combines engineering rigor with startup-savvy execution.
