Summary
Kirill Sidelev is a senior product engineer based in Amsterdam with a decade of experience building customer-focused web products across startups and scale-ups. He has moved between hands-on frontend and product roles to leadership positions—founding an EdTech startup, serving as CTO of Data Booster, and now shaping product engineering at CryoCloud—demonstrating both entrepreneurial drive and product sensibility. His background spans high-traffic consumer and B2B platforms (Yandex, 3D Hubs) and early-stage product development, giving him a knack for turning user needs into polished interfaces and feature-ready systems. Colleagues value his blend of product empathy and pragmatic engineering, and he consistently prioritizes customer experience when trading off speed, quality, and maintainability. An Amsterdam-based builder who often pairs rapid prototyping with longer-term architectural thinking, he brings rare continuity from idea to production.
