Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRoman Kolgushev is a multidisciplinary freelance technologist and founder/CTO with 12 years of experience building front-end applications, data-driven journalism tools, and editorial digital strategies. He brings a rare blend of newsroom product leadership and hands-on development—having led digital innovation at Kyiv Post, taught data journalism, and shipped interactive web apps for newsrooms like the Columbia Missourian. As a creative problem-solver with two master’s degrees, he designs clean, efficient systems and also builds the platforms that let clients scale their stories and products. Now running his own studio from Ontario, he combines product, teaching, and engineering instincts to remove operational friction for businesses and news teams alike. An editor-turned-developer, he once automated newsroom workflows (even a Slack stats bot)—a small example of his appetite for practical automation that improves daily work.
