Meet Arnolds Bogdanovs, our amazing Head of Technology! 🧠
🤓 Arnolds is one of the earliest team members at Longenesis. Our CEO Emil Syundyukov and Arnolds met at the University of Latvia many years ago, both delved in studying, Emil was already engaged in the digital health industry and inspired Arnolds to explore the field. Not long after Longenesis was founded, Arnolds was invited to join the startup and build the product - an offer he could not refuse. With currently 6 people being involved in product development it all started from Arnolds.
💡 With a degree in Computer Science, he has been programming since 14 years old. When asked what motivated him to pursue this path, Arnolds responds reaffirming his excitement for challenges and possibilities that the industry offers. But being able to combine computer science with healthcare makes it a truly wild ride.
🌍 Since joining the team, Arnolds has been involved in many projects, but the most notable one so far, is our partnership with M42 in Emirati Genome Program, through which we have helped to engage more than 750 000 participants all over the UAE and continue to this day. In a field that still relies heavily on people-based data capture, Arnolds describes the project as an amazing chance to build a digital solution at an exciting time of rapid innovation.
📚 While his professional work takes a great deal of time, when out of office, you will find him hiking or traveling, or picking out the next sci-fi book (obviously). However, when asked to recommend a single book, “Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World” by David Epstein leads the list.
❤️ We’re truly grateful to have such a talented and active individual on our team. Thank you, Arnolds, for your great work and for approaching every challenge with a positive outlook and restless work ethic!
