My journey

Greetings! I’m Ivan, currently residing in Porto.
I’m often characterized as an energetic nerd with a passion for delving into discussions about data, e-commerce entrepreneurship, and stocks.

I have founded and run several ecommerce businesses, but the one that gave me the most experience was a fashion online store where I sold matching clothes for parents and kids using the dropshipping model.

Imagine this: a tech-savvy kid from Ukraine arrives in Portugal, not knowing the language but excelling as the math genius in the classroom. That’s me!

I started my career planning digital media, where I learned to create effective ad strategies for different channels. I became familiar with metrics like ROAS (Return on Advertising Spend) and the difference between awareness and performance ads.

As I got more involved in Growth Hacking, especially through the Alladin Happy newsletter, I discovered my passion for improving conversion rates and digital analytics. This has become my main focus and specialization in my career.
