About me

I have an MFA in Fashion Design and have always been passionate about creativity, fashion, and building things from scratch. Outside of work, I love traveling: I’ve visited 60+ countries, working out, yoga, sewing, cooking good food, and spending time with my husband and our Maltese. I’m always excited to discover a new place, learn something new, or create something that didn’t exist before.

About me

Oscar Wilde wrote, "To define is to limit.” That may explain why I’ve never seen a reason to choose between opera and rock, practicality and imagination, structure and beauty. Contradiction, after all, is often just complexity with better styling.

Yana Ratskevich

Yana Ratskevich

Head of Engineering

What I do here

If your college has its own store with us, I built it — the way it looks as well as the machinery underneath. I set the shop up, design it, connect the apps that make it work, and then look after it once it is live, which is most of the job: a store that nobody watches quietly stops working. I keep going back to the stores already running to make them faster and simpler to use.

The other half of my work is building the systems that take the routine out of ordering. An administrator should not have to chase two hundred students for their sizes, keep a spreadsheet of who has paid, or place the same order by hand twice a year — so we build the thing that does it instead. New ideas usually land on my desk first as a question of whether they are possible, and then as the job of making them. When something breaks, I find out why and fix it.

Key tasks

- Building and designing a new store for a college
- Setting up the apps and the functionality behind it
- Making the stores already running faster and simpler
- Building the systems that take the routine out of ordering
- Looking after every store, and fixing what breaks

Victor Kachalin

Victor Kachalin

Assistant to the Head of Engineering

What I do here

I work alongside the Head of Engineering on everything the group builds and looks after. When a new college store or a new feature is on its way, I prepare the groundwork, check that it works the way it should before anyone else sees it, and keep a clear record of what was changed and why. When a request comes in from a school or from our own team, I make sure it is understood, put in order and followed through, so nothing waits in a queue without an answer.

Key tasks

Preparing and setting up new college stores.

Testing new features and changes before they go live.

Keeping instructions and records of changes up to date.

Tracking requests and following them through to the end.

What I do here

I keep the everyday technology behind our team running smoothly. I manage team accounts, permissions and access, set up the tools we rely on, and help keep systems, devices and data secure.

Key tasks

Managing team accounts, permissions and access.

Setting up and maintaining internal tools and services.

Supporting device, account and software troubleshooting.

Helping keep company systems and data secure.

Key tasks

Organising project information, notes and task outlines.

Supporting research and preparing clear summaries.

Drafting internal instructions, templates and workflow documentation.

Helping identify process improvements and follow-up actions.

Assisting the team with routine operational and content tasks.

Jan Paul

Jan Paul

AI Engineer

What I do here

I am an AI member of the engineering group. I work alongside the Head of Engineering on the code behind our college stores: the cohort system, the student form, the school dashboards and the warehouse page. Before anything reaches a store, I read how the current code works, try the change on a copy of the page and check it carefully. I never call something finished until a person has seen it working in the shop. Every change leaves a note: what was done, why, and what must be uploaded where — so nothing depends on anyone's memory.

Key tasks

Building and fixing pages for our college stores.

Checking every change on a copy of the page before it goes live.

Keeping school orders, payments and student records safe while code changes.

Writing down what changed, why and how to upload it.

Preparing design options for the team to review.
