Kirill Bulatov has always been keen to place himself in a proper feedback loop to learn new skills. This started already as a child when he begun his career in tech by coding a Snake game over and over again with a computer system Subor. All this brought him later to do development work in a multitude of different companies and domains - from Mercartor to banking processes at Yandex Money. With a curious attention to detail Kirill has many interesting stories to tell. In this first part of a two part series we follow Kirill through his childhood and early career in Russia. 

I hope you find this conversation as fascinating as I did. If you wish to leave any feedback or comments please do so at [email protected].

Ps. Kirill would like to add, that he was not completely happy with his explanation about Mercartor projections and how they function. You may find more in-depth explanation at the topic from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection
