Today: Oleg Oksyuk.
While working in startups on the engineering side I created cool things like Adobe Flash Player for Embedded Linux and MPEG/H264 Video Streaming with Fast Forward and Rewind without bitrate increase (according to Apple engineers that was impossible). Then I started to found startups and switched to the business side with many ideas that failed after fast trials of 2-6 months (including Ethereal Lite - Create art with your bare fingers in the air) and modest success in LiveExpert (an expert advice marketplace). I've been working on AllRight, an online English School for kids for the last 4 years, where I've built the team to 80 people ... not counting 700 teachers.

How do we unlock fun for a billion underserved gamers?
In this edition of Low Code Ninjas, Peggy Anne Salz and John Koetsier talk to Jason Chapman, Managing Partner of Konvoy Ventures, about unlocking creativity for the next billion gamers ... and the millions who will make their games with low code or no code platforms.

VC, CEO, and Silicon Valley insider Joe Hurd unveils the secret weapon in digital transformation: low code development.
Digital transformation is hard enough in ordinary times. Now we have COVID. And we don't have enough developers. Low code, however, can help ... and it's fueling a massive shift in how enterprise and retail companies are mobilizing for new customer needs and habits.
Native can be great. But low code offers a compelling combination of speed and power that can sometimes convert the most die-hard native fan and make him or her a low code evangelist.
Seth Winters, VP of Innovation for DoTERRA, still likes native and mixes some native code into his low code projects. But low code saved him literally years worth of development. And going hybrid between low code and native turned out to be the best possible solution ... with huge speed improvements over his other options.
Every year, Christmas is critical for retailers. But maybe more than ever before … this year, it’s literally life or death. This year’s holiday shopping season is literally off the charts. We’ve had 5 years of e-commerce growth in just months of COVID-19, and consumer behavior has shifted from in-store to digital.
That consumer behavior shift means that retailers need to be digital first. That’s e-commerce, sure, but it’s especially mobile commerce. And it means brands need to get ready quickly, which only low-code development can enable.
To dive in, we're joined by Sunil Rao, who is the Global Head, Consumer Goods Go-To-Market at Salesforce.
How do you build 37,000 personalized gyms for 37,000 different people when Covid-19 hits ... and your San Francisco gyms are completely locked down? In this episode of Low Code Ninjas, John Koetsier and Peggy Anne Salz chat with FITNESS SF president Don Dickerson, whose gyms were completely shut down for six months.
For 3 years, Dickerson had been trying to build a FITNESS SF mobile app.
During COVID, he built one in 2 months, with personalized video, diet and wellness functionality, hooks into HealthKit and data from wearables, and much, much more, that will soon be a paid subscription-based app.
All of this ... with low code development on the FollowAnalytics platform.
Does low-code enable the impossible in enterprise? In this episode of Low Code Ninjas we chat with Greg Callahan, a partner at Bain.
Via its account-management division Coro, Bain builds pixel-perfect apps for massive enterprise companies in weeks using a low-code platform, enabling what was impossible or just very expensive and very slow before. The result: massive increases in sales of 20-40%.
And, as Greg explains, in a startup, you might be gunning for 100% growth. For the Disneys and Walmarts of the world, 20% growth is amazing.
We chat about:
- what mobile offers the enterprise
- how low-code fits in
- the difference between high-growth and low-growth companies
- what Bain is able to do for enterprise-level clients
- how quickly they can build massive mobile apps
- what features are most critical
