Andrey Sabelnikov

Co-founder & Core Dev

After graduating from Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation as system programming engineer, Andrey went on to work in the antivirus space for eight years. This work came to a head with a very public lawsuit with Microsoft, which ended in a settlement agreement. Following this, he was hired as lead developer on a project that later came to be known as CryptoNote. After differences of opinion regarding the application of this new protocol, he left that project to create Boolberry, which later evolved into Zano.
