Pavel Shalagin
CEO

Since my first steps in Information Technology, I have realised its significant potential. IT can provide solutions to complex information problems by breaking this down into convenient, simplistic solutions. Having extensive knowledge and experience in software development, I understand how to make computers work for your business needs. Software should solve problems but never create new ones, that's why I am pragmatic and pay special attention in software design. Effective planning, following schedules and deadlines are critically important for project success.

At the moment I am carrying out my postgraduate research to achieve a degree of Ph.D. in CS. My thesis theme lies in fields of artificial intelligence, natural language processing and speech recognition. I also lecture on the IA-32 Assembly Language and Distributed Computation at the Mari State Technical University.

Chief Innovation Officer

I'm convinced that only continual learning leads to success. We keep abreast of the ever changing technologies, frameworks and tools to ensure our knowledge remains current. At Citronium, we promote an environment of self-education. We learn from one other, from our mistakes and successes, and this unites us as a team. Every week at our company seminar we acquaint ourselves with and discuss the latest news and developments in IT.

My Ph.D. thesis involves extensive research and practical applications of wireless networks security. In addition, I lecture at the Mari State Technical University on the Distributed Computation and Computer Architecture.

Chief Technology Officer

Only by having a sound knowledge of your area of expertise can you can achieve great results. I have an electro-technical higher education and understand how computing machinery works. This enables me to find optimal ways to implement project ideas. It's very important to keep the balance between hi-end and established, proven approaches and to choose the most suitable solution according to the customer's requirements.

Here at Citronium I enjoy working with a team of competent developers. Learning from colleagues and sharing experiences with them enables me to develop my skills. Finding the optimal solution for a challenging task brings me a sense of achievement and makes me happy.

Timofey Tatarinov

Since playing computer games back in my childhood, I was always interested to know how it all worked. I was curious but never had the opportunity to learn as there was no such class at my school. I didn't give up and started to study programming on my own. I had a goal – to become number one in programming and it became a huge part of my life. I am sure Citronium is the right place for me.

Konstantin Khukalenko

Programming is not only a job for me. I enjoy solving difficult problems and looking for creative decisions and I receive all of this working in IT field. Standing on one place means going a step back for me. I like learning new things and grow professionally. And this is what me and my colleagues in Citronium does every day when coming to work.

Yuri Podoplelov

I was fascinated with computers from the age of six. I loved the screens (in those days a regular TV) , the buttons, joysticks, cassettes, games and gadgets, so I guess the profession chose me and I am now over the moon to be working with modern technologies. I'm a software engineer and graduated in 2007 from Mari State Technical University. I worked extensively on automated e-learning systems for universities and schools as well as doing various IT projects during a stint in the army.

Andrey Nitikin

I love solving interesting tasks and the more complicated the better. I love working on problems, seeing the results and having fun with the whole process. As life goes on there are always new ideas presented and therefore new achievements. Beside software development I like skating, aikido and good music.

Juliya Sokolova
QA Engineer

I've been into computers from an early age. Initially multimedia books then, like everybody else, computer games and school IT classes. I was always convinced of the importance of computers and and decided follow my parents into an IT career via university. Now I'm continuing my education as a programmer and am loving it. Software is at the centre of all modern technologies so I'd like to tame it and attain the highest skill levels. Also I like pop rock music and fast car driving - even through I'm not such an experienced driver yet.

Dmitry Suchkov

I have been programming since 7th grade when my father bought me my first computer. Since then I have studied hard and I am now able to create programs myself. In my opinion, there is no limit for perfection. Every day I work on developing my skills. Reading up on the latest IT developments helps me achieve this.
