About
An engineer who builds systems, and a researcher who studies the systems that build us.
My name is Peter Tolkachev. For over seven years I have designed and built web applications — mostly in fintech and banking. I am currently a lead fullstack engineer at Alfa-Bank: high-load interfaces, platform tooling, infrastructure for engineering teams.
Alongside this I run applied research into the digital economy and practise entrepreneurship. I am interested in how platforms, infrastructure and product decisions produce particular economic roles — above all the figure of the entrepreneur.
I treat code as a social practice. Behind platforms, feature flags and internal tools I see questions of power, behaviour and institutions. The language of system architecture and the language of social theory matter equally to me — two views of the same question.
I work at an interdisciplinary intersection: engineering, research into the digital economy, and entrepreneurial practice. That intersection is not a scatter but a method: each feeds the others.
