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 ad budgets that kept me up at night. I ended that decade running a company and seeing firsthand what makes one succeed or stall.

Somewhere around 2016, I realised I cared more about the systems behind the business than the marketing in front of it. I built and grew an e-commerce business of my own, automated almost entirely. I joined OSNOVA – one of Russia's largest real estate developers – and was assigned to oversee every company site.

In 2021, I moved to Thailand on my own to get a proper 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've built our life in Bangkok. I run Lotus Web Agency from here, with a team I trust across Asia.

Here's what I think makes me useful: I've earned my opinions on both sides of the fence. The technical decisions I make are informed by years of watching how the same decisions show up on a P&L. I don't oversell, I don't over-engineer, and I don't take on projects I can't move forward.
