Oleksandr Telnov is a seasoned technology leader and co-founder who has spent nearly two decades turning product ideas into scalable, GDPR-compliant systems; he currently serves as CTO of MuchSkills, a skills intelligence platform used by 100,000+ professionals that manages 12 million skill datapoints and handles peaks of 30,000 requests per minute. He owns architecture, infrastructure, data, product development and DevOps, and has driven over 3,500 commits while guiding the platform from early prototype to enterprise-grade service recognized by a Red Dot Design Award and Everest Group. A pragmatic engineer who insists on understanding problems before writing code, he pairs client-facing discovery with hands-on implementation to avoid building unnecessary features. His background spans game design in the pre-smartphone era to full-stack development and open-source contributions (notably to the popular ngx-bootstrap Angular library), reflecting a rare blend of UX intuition and deep engineering. With an MS in Intelligent Problem-Solving Systems and ongoing work integrating AI and agents into product and team workflows, he focuses on practical AI applications that boost productivity. Based in Espoo and originally from Ukraine, he still runs an IT consulting firm, Dumka, alongside scaling MuchSkills.
