Joined WayRay as Electronics Design Engineer after studying design engineering at Moscow State University of Instrument Engineering and Computer Science. Has participated in the development of all of WayRay’s PoC products for OEMs. Develops circuitry for all key projects, constantly improves the development approach in his department, draws up standards and guidelines.
Highly experienced chemist and researcher in the field of new materials. Lead of the development of the pre-recorded hologram film laminating process for WayRay, including hologram research and testing. Currently working on developing and implementing the manufacturing technology for car windshields with built-in holographic optical elements.
Doctor of Engineering Science specializing in metallurgy, with previous experience working as a process engineer, technical director, and department head. At WayRay, his work involves complex engineering calculations across an array of processes, in addition to generative design and topological optimization.
Our holography engineers record the world's largest see-through holograms using a special photopolymer film that can be integrated into car windshields. The team conducts research in the field of volumetric holographic optical elements, including measuring characteristics and studying properties. Under their work, optical components are aligned and assembled to create full-color augmented reality systems.
Meet our team of leaders that push themselves every day to solve the seemingly impossible. They are profoundly ambitious tech professionals who love a good challenge. Working side by side with them is always an inspiration, and this works both ways: they learn just as much from their teams as they give in return.

Do deep tech
Ask yourself this: am I doing what others are afraid to do? Think differently, go against the grain, be brave. Combine different approaches, apply knowledge from different fields. If you already know how to do something, outsource it and manage the process. Free yourself from routine and go back to start — to tasks no one has done before.
Be honest
We are a deep-tech company with long-term plans. We don’t allow ourselves to be fake. Be honest with yourself and the world around you. Open up to new ideas and perspectives. When making a decision, don’t be afraid to make mistakes. If you make a mistake, say so. Be yourself.
Be a pro
We are professionals that are continuously gaining new knowledge and developing our emotional intelligence. Take on team members that know more than you. Learn on your own and help others do the same. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Give good feedback and learn to take criticism.
Do it WayRay style
We’re a startup in the best sense of the word. Act fast, experiment, improve, be bold with your ideas. Use the newest and simplest tools, apply the most advanced technologies. Take responsibility for the results. Treat the company’s resources with care, and not just the material ones: respect your coworkers’ time.
Be a team
If you need to make a decision, try to think it over with someone. People are our main asset. Listen to others’ opinions — that will help you avoid mistakes in the future. We don’t want any gossip or drama in the company: encourage one another.
Think
Ask yourself “what am I doing, how, and why?” Every time you’re faced with a decision, consider whether or not you have enough information to make it. Look at things objectively, and don’t let your convictions and stereotypes skew the information. Think about the consequences of your decisions.
We think of these six values as our guiding principles and fundamental beliefs that help us function together as a team and work toward our common goal.
We always keep in mind these values when making decisions, communicating with each other and the outside world, and hiring new team members.
Another big part of our unique culture is our WayRaves — because whatever we do, we innovate and go beyond, so we ditched the old-school office parties in favor of raves. Imagine a team of people juggling multiple projects at once on a global scale. Well, that’s us. And after we’ve given it a hundred and ten percent, we all need a chance to let loose.
Today, the WayRave movement brings together our current team, partners, friends, former employees, potential hires, and media reps. We call on all scientists, nonconformists, perfectionists, and other -ists to join the WayRave movement and make the world what it should be, not what it is.
WayRavers are dreamers and doers passionate about science, technology, eager to solve non-routine problems, enthusiastic professionals with a growth mindset who believe in out-of-the-box solutions, and strive to contribute to international projects.
