The Skydive Team

Founder/Owner of Skydive

Chris has had an extensive 20+ year career in programming, systems engineering, and user experience design. He has always had a thirst for all things design and technology related, seeking a connection between the technical and artistic realms.

It wasn’t until coming to Austin Texas in 2013 that Chris began working strictly as a user experience designer for Fortune 100 companies such as PayPal, Express Scripts, USAA, Pearson, and many others including popular tech startups. It was there that he discovered the criticality of not only being customer-centric, but having the right processes, tools, and data to support the creation of useful and effective digital products and services. While evaluating and using the plethora of analytics and design tools day-to-day, he realized that from a full-spectrum design standpoint, many of these tools were not as effective as they could be. It was then that he began working on an early-stage prototype of Skydive that would later become the application it is today with a vision for so much more.

Dmitriy’s path in management started when he founded a dance school in 2010. In 5 years, having achieved big goals in this field, he decided to switch to something new. The main criteria for a new specialty were 2 things: 1. It should be centered around teamwork and 2. the teamwork should create something new and bring value to people.

Dmitriy chose web technology and innovation and hasn’t had a single regret. Working with startups from across the globe, he faced business and technical challenges and implemented innovations to market solutions.

“The work gives you a feeling that you do something that really matters to people’s life.” He loves traveling to new places, long walks, running. And he’s a big fan of Mike Oldfield and the Rolling Stones music.
