Hi, I'm Sergei

Software Engineer & Creator

About

I'm currently a software engineer at Replit where we're building the future of programming.

Previously, I've worked at Coda, Google, and Expo. I've also contracted for and advised a number of other startups on the side.

I'm originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and am now living in New York City.
