Dmitrii Kuznetsov began his career after receiving a Master’s Degree in Architecture from the Saratov State Technical University in Russia. After working in architecture for a few years, Dmitrii began learning software and web development. A technology autodidact, Dmitrii found a passion to solve real-world problems using the most advanced technologies. He worked as a full-stack web developer as the lead developer in several large and small fintech and medical startups. His 10 years of experience in web development did not diminish his careful, precise nature as an architect. His passion for AI and deep tech was uncovered in late 2019 when he enrolled at South China University of Technology to pursue a second Master’s degree in Software Engineering with a focus on AI, Machine Learning, and IoT. Having 10 years of previous experience in bringing dreams to reality, Dmitrii learned that AI and Machine Learning were in their infancy stages – and will likely be hampered by restrictions in cost, time, and scalability. These significant problems became his focus and Exspanse was born.
