Research
I study how technological and economic systems produce a certain kind of subject — the figure of the entrepreneur — and why this matters to the people who build platforms.
Today the entrepreneur is not simply a profession, nor only a business owner. It is a norm that the economic and technological order offers to everyone: be proactive, take on risk, treat yourself as a project. I study exactly how this figure is produced — by institutions, markets, platforms and the infrastructure of everyday work.
Russian capitalism is the concrete context for this question. Here the entrepreneur takes shape in the gap between the state, the market and strategies of survival — which gives a particular lens on the general theory.
My approach is applied. I don't only describe these processes; I build the very systems in which they happen: platforms, feature flags, internal tools. Understanding how product decisions shape behaviour is directly useful to engineers and product teams.
Subject
How entrepreneurial subjectivity is produced: a figure that takes on risk and treats itself as a project.
Capitalism
Transformations of the economic order and the kind of subject it makes the norm.
Russian context
The entrepreneur between state, market and survival — a concrete case for the general theory.
Technology
Platforms, infrastructure and product decisions as mechanisms that shape behaviour and roles.
Every product decision is about power and behaviour: what to show, to whom, on what terms. I translate the language of social theory into practical design questions — and back. This makes engineering decisions more deliberate, and the research more grounded.
