About

  • 15+years in technology
  • 100+people led
  • 16M+users on the platforms
  • 500kalarm panels in real time

I'm the CTO of Segware, a company at the forefront of electronic security, video monitoring, multifamily systems for smart condos, the VoIP ecosystem, access control, remote concierge, condo convenience, and IoT integrations. With 15+ years in technology, including more than a decade of growth from full-stack developer to CTO, I bring a multidisciplinary background spanning software, cloud infrastructure, and hardware. That experience lets me lead technology end to end and turn it into reliable products that protect what matters most to people.

I lead 100+ tech professionals across the Technology, People, and Projects pillars, connecting C-level strategy with the teams who deliver it every day. My mindset is AI first: I prioritize embedding artificial intelligence into how we design products, processes, and decisions.

What drives me is generating value, at scale and sustainably. Our platforms serve more than 16 million users, processing real-time data from half a million alarm panels, hundreds of thousands of access control devices, and hundreds of thousands of video channels across cameras, DVRs, and NVRs. Predictive models cut burglaries and false alarms across billions of events. I treat cost as a first-class engineering metric, from per-customer, telemetry-based billing to vendor negotiation and margin. And I build high-performance teams and new leaders in a culture of autonomy, quality, and innovation.

I'm a hands-on CTO. When it truly matters, I dive in: designing architectures and planning the code with AI supporting every step, and staying with the team, reading, reviewing, writing, and discussing what's next. A CTO's role is to connect technology, product, people, and business around a clear vision, balancing speed today with sustainability tomorrow.

Background: MIT Professional Education (Technology Management), AWS and MongoDB certifications, and six AWS re:Invent conferences.

Recommendation

Although Igor and I have never worked directly together, I can confidently vouch for his technical and complementary skills. Throughout our journey, we've often engaged in deep discussions covering a wide range of topics from tactical and operational aspects to strategic matters related to team management and software development. His interest in emerging technologies and his short learning curve have always stood out to me as key differentiators. Igor is an excellent communicator and defends his ideas with great skill, making him a valuable asset to any organization.
