Victor Szewczenko
Victor is a Principal Consultant at Dae.mn working from his home in South Africa. From the age of 14 he has wanted to ‘do computers for a living’, ever since he made a rudimentary program at school that changed the background colours of the screen at random!
With a degree in electrical engineering, specialising in information and software engineering, and many years using and honing those skills in the financial and banking sector, Victor joined Dae.mn in 2021.
“Dae.mn has some of the most capable, interesting and fun loving people I have met in this industry. As a South African working remotely from Johannesburg, I also really enjoy the quirks of working in a truly International team and with some of the biggest international clients.”
Damien Jade Duff
Damien has been with Dae.mn since 2019 and is a Senior Consultant at Dae.mn working with our clients using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
Damien did his PhD in Robotics and Computer Vision at the University of Birmingham before working for ten years as a researcher and award-winning lecturer for ten years. He is now putting his knowledge and skills to work on innovation projects exploring new ways to deliver value for clients.
“The key difference with academia is that in business you need to prove value early and often, and for that there is no alternative to strong collaboration. At Dae.mn I have found a culture that combines that collaborative approach with respect. There’s also a real effort to ensure you do valuable and meaningful work, and ample opportunity to work with some very smart people.”
