Vasilii Dementev

I spent the first part of my career in Moscow (2008–2015), learning how money moves through a business: marketing at a brokerage, monetization at a game studio, and running ad budgets. I ended that decade in a senior leadership role at a game studio, seeing firsthand what makes a company succeed or stall.

In 2016, I moved from marketing into the systems behind the business. I built and grew an e-commerce company of my own, with most sales automated. I then became head of web projects at a major real-estate developer (2018–2021).

In 2021, I moved to Thailand for a formal software engineering degree at Prince of Songkla University. That same year, I founded Lotus Web Agency. By 2026, Thailand had become home—I met my family here, and we built our life in Bangkok. I run Lotus Web Agency from here, with a team I trust across Asia.

That background still shapes every technical decision I make. I care about clean architecture, but also the conversion path it supports, the operating burden it creates, and the commercial constraint it has to survive. I ran marketing budgets and a P&L before I wrote production code, so the systems I build stay wired to the business they serve. I work like a practitioner-researcher: decisions start with evidence, alternatives, and constraints, then meet reality in production.

AI has increased the scale at which I can execute. I direct specialized coding agents as a team: I define the architecture and boundaries, split work into bounded streams, control context and dependencies, challenge output through independent review, and integrate the result myself. AI supplies speed and range; engineering judgment, verification, and ownership stay human.
