Vladimir Guguiev is a kid of the 80’s from Crimea, Ukraine who likes implementing unconventional solutions. As Showmax’s Front End Tech Lead in the Netherlands, Vladimir creates new ways to get and display high quality content in demanding environments. When he’s not contributing to open source projects, he can be found at home with his collection of analog synthesizers.
