Hi, I'm Eugene Shilnikov. I build products in payments and fintech — and use AI every day, at work and at home.

Fifteen years in product, the last two in Dubai. I sold my first startup — an online booking service for small business — to Yandex. At Yandex Pay I launched a payment wallet and a digital banking app; in the UAE I built Yango Maps — maps and navigation. Today I own the products of Fortis and LifePay : payments and point of sale for small business.

Here I write about that in practice: what AI takes off my plate at work and at home, what actually works and what doesn't.
