Brief Biography:
In 1997 I became the creator of the first company in Latvia, specialising in web site development — WebDizainaCentrs, having for two years previously tested the forces in 3D modelling with the advertising agency MultiCentrs.
From 1999 with a partner I opened RS studio, which still exists to this day and specialises in web hosting under the brand elinks web hosting.
Since 2003 I have had an association with True Vision, a company which I also partially owned. Most of my time and energy has been taken with its development.
2007-2009, as a hobby, I participated in developing a portal Ind-Ex.LV, about the life of my native city, periodically organizing offline parties with colleagues. During this period the project's traffic increased by around 400%.
In 2009, with my True Vision colleagues, I developed the Twitter Application called TwiBack, that has become popular within the Twitter community. During this year I have also launched a subsite, photo.sidorov.com, dedicated to my photography skills with the accent on travel photography.
In 2010, I quit TrueVision company and joined Scada design agency as the International Markets Developing Partner and GUI/IA, Graphic designer.
