Top SchoolVitaly Pavlenko is a founder and senior software engineer with 13 years of experience building education-focused products and consumer apps. He created Snakify, a Python learning platform that reached 300k MAU by improving onboarding, adding a code execution visualizer and designing error-message translations to simplify learning. As a former WhatsApp React engineer and Palantir/Google intern, he brings production front-end expertise across constrained devices and complex data dashboards. At ASAP he scaled teams and shipped cross-platform mobile and web apps that grew DAU and MRR substantially, and today he leads Rawl to democratize music theory for a broad audience.
