Igor calls himself a "triple immigrant": He was born in Western Ukraine, educated in Computer Science at the Israel Technion Institute of Technology, and worked in Israel for ten years, then worked in Silicon Valley for 25 years, before settling in Colorado. His expertise is in chip design, software quality, and program management and he has worked in big companies such as Synopsys, EMC, and Autodesk, as well as a few startups. Igor and his wife Lilya moved to Anthem Ranch five years ago to escape the craziness of Silicon Valley and to be close to their two sons and their grandkids. He enjoys tennis, pickleball, and photography.
