About

I'm Konstantin. I build and operate AI-powered products across recruitment, employee engagement, market intelligence, and community platforms.

Through StoreOps, I co-founded and operate Interviewy (recruitment automation), Conversey (frontline engagement), and Better Burger Fundraiser (community fundraising) — serving franchise restaurant operators across 20+ brands. I'm also co-founder and CTO of TalentHub Partners, an AI-first executive search firm for Japan where I built the proprietary platform behind candidate matching, market intelligence, competitive analysis, and end-to-end search automation.

I use and experiment with many models and tools across all of this — automating as much as possible so small teams can operate at the level of much larger ones.
