Leonid Glazychev originally specialized in plasma physics and computer simulation graduated with honors (M. Sc.) and holds a Ph.D. degree in physics and mathematics. He was lucky to join one of the first ever software localization projects, and that turned out to be a life-changer. Leonid co-founded Logrus, a professional software localization company when even the concept itself was somewhat novel, and served as the company’s CEO since then. Over the last 28+ years, we (now Logrus IT) have grown from 3 employees to 160+, with multiple offices around the world, including China, Korea (added in 2017), and Turkey (added in 2022). His goal is to bring some hard-core, fundamental, objective, and unbiased scientific approach and knowledge to the areas traditionally occupied by project managers and linguists. He is relentlessly challenging common knowledge, traditional ways, and widespread prejudice, and enjoys working with people and demonstrating creative thinking.
