Team news

Owing to a rapid increase in our workflow, we have reassessed our company structure at the top-executive level and have realised that our CTO, Nikita Kuznetsov — our tech lead on Privatix VPN for many years, who was expected to lead Privatix Network development — will be able to contribute much more to the project by moving to another position, one that will be of equal benefit to our project and to his own personal goals.

Nikita will be staying with us and continuing to work on the project; however, he will now be devoting most of his time to working with top Ethereum developers on the future of this great blockchain. As of now, Nikita is moving to a senior technical advisory position on the Privatix Network while remaining in our R&D group.

The new Privatix Network CTO is A.Tseiytline . He has already been working full-time in his new position for several weeks. Andrei has extensive experience as a technical leader, having served as CTO in a number of Israeli companies.

From the very beginning, Andrei has been involved in our blockchain project in an advisory capacity, and now, after many conversations and much pleading from me, he has quite a great job in order to participate in our world-changing project and lead us to success.

Andrei graduated as a BSc engineer. Last month he, Nikita and the whole team were working hard on architecture planning, testing, coding, benchmarking, forecasting future technical risks, and ways to mitigate it.

His first post as CTO , will be posted next days and will cover some complicated issues that touch on the so-called “sybil attack”. You’re most welcome to read and get involved in the deeper technical discussion. Follow our updates.
