Amir and Kate under the northern lights

Amir & Kate

We have seen the north in winter. Now we would like to live there for a while, not just visit.

Amir

Backend engineer in fintech for 7+ years, working remotely since 2019.

I build search and AI systems for financial services. I graduated from ITMO University with a bachelor's degree in Software Engineering.

I go to the gym regularly. I would be happy to help with physical work: on a farm, in the port, with repairs or getting ready for local events. I can also explain to small businesses in plain words how AI can save them time.

Kate

Product analyst in fintech for almost 5 years, working remotely since 2023.

I work with big data and use AI tools in my analytics routine. I graduated from HSE University with a bachelor's degree in Economics.

I'm very active: yoga, pilates, cycling, hiking. I would be happy to run a fitness class for anyone who wants to join. I am also happy to help on a farm or with local events, or show small businesses how to make sense of their data.

Why the north

We want to try living next to nature, not only visiting it on weekends.

Our work is remote, so we only need a desk and good internet. We would love to come to the Faroe Islands or to Norway, near Geirangerfjord, in February and March 2027.

A day with rescued elephants at Khao Mai Kaeo

On a trip to Thailand we spent a day with friends at Khao Mai Kaeo, a place that takes care of rescued elephants. We washed and cut sugar cane, fed the elephants and spent time with them.
