I’m a Senior Network Threat Researcher at Positive Technologies, where I focus on analyzing malicious network activity, improving network traffic analysis tools, and developing new approaches to threat detection.
I started my career at Kaspersky Lab, researching web-related threats. That experience shaped my interest in understanding how attackers use web infrastructure and how their activity can be identified through network traffic.
Outside my main work, I continue to explore web threats, OSINT, and social engineering techniques. Social engineering was also closely related to my master’s research.
CTF & Community
I’ve been involved in CTF competitions for over six years. In 2020, my team organized an international CTF competition, and in 2022 and 2023, I competed with an international team in the CTF finals at Black Hat MEA.
I also organize cybersecurity events for students and have taught in several educational programs, including the Bank of Russia’s Fintech Hub programs in Sirius and summer cybersecurity schools.
Conferences & Public Speaking
Over the years, I’ve attended and participated in cybersecurity conferences, technical workshops, and educational events in different countries.
I regularly share my research at international conferences, with talks covering malware analysis, network traffic analysis, and threat detection.
You can find my presentations and upcoming talks on the Conference Talks page.
Beyond Cybersecurity
I used to be a photographer. Now I mostly bring back gigabytes of photos from my trips and never find the time to sort through them. Some things never change.
I’ve visited over 20 countries, but I’m not trying to collect them all. Some places are simply worth coming back to again and again. My biggest discovery of 2026? Iceland. Absolutely stole my heart. ❤️
I love sports, although I still can’t decide which one is my favorite. Running (seven 10K races this year!), aerial gym (for the soul), or swimming (water is definitely my element).
I’m also a regular at the cinema — 18 visits in 2026 so far. Yes, I keep count. 🎬
And I have a completely unreasonable love for orcas. No explanation. Just orcas.
