Before founding Mantis Analytics, he worked in strategic communications and crisis management consulting. He has contributed to both domestic and international forums, shaping discussions on AI’s role in modern conflict. He also occasionally publishes on AI, security, and Ukraine’s shifting strategic landscape, as well as broader philosophical reflections.
