The Department of analytics and research

At FiatLab, I head the Department of Analytics and Research. We are engaged in optimizing the schedule of players as well as other areas (aside from actual poker strategy), where you can rely on objective data. They say that a successful career in big data requires a solid mathematical foundation and programming skills. Honestly, I lack both, so I have to compensate for it with logic, attention to detail, and my experience.

Speaking of experience. As a player, I worked my way up from inexpensive tournaments to an ABI of $200 (there was simply no more expensive regular game at that time). The peak of my career came between 2014 and 2015, and after the high-stake swing pretty much frayed my nerves, I gradually moved back to the average limits, where I still manage to win. Talking to the players about the optimal approach to the game, I find it easy to identify mistakes — after all, I made them myself, literally. Now I’m trying to help the new generation not to keep making the same mistakes.

In my free time from poker, I like to travel, eat delicious food, and listen to good music. I really love chess and play it rather well. I support Villarreal in football and Tampa in baseball. I live in the best city on Earth — Uzhhorod.
