Ivan Kleshnin

I’m a product-focused software generalist with over 15 years of experience across diverse domains, including EdTech, HRTech, and MarketingTech. I’ve contributed to projects at every stage – from concept and design to full-stack implementation and system architecture, often in resource-constrained environments.

Lately, I’ve been expanding into data science, ML, and NLP, developing specialized lightweight models that are highly efficient and outperform LLMs on narrow tasks. My work combines technical depth with a curiosity for cross-domain problem solving, and I enjoy mentoring engineers and shaping products that work in the real world.

Notable highlights:
- Built data-scraping, ETL pipeline and AI models for DevScanr (& LeadScanr)
- Built a full-stack architecture from scratch for PowerToFly
- Consulted on QA and architecture for Kamu’s acquisition by Epic Games
- Engineered reactive, event-driven systems and embedded tools for niche domains
- Mentored dozens of engineers, many now senior in their fields

Curious and hands-on by nature, I thrive in roles where I can contribute across the stack, apply my extensive technical expertise, and help turn ideas into working products.
