Experience

Back in 2010, Anatoliy kicked off his tech blogging journey, diving deep into TVs and media boxes with his Blogspot blog. At the same time, he was part of the Hisense team in the role of one ok the key executives. Before that gig, he had a leadership role at Ukretelecom, a big-deal telecom company in Ukraine. He even ran his own small venture, setting up internet and satellite antennas.

Fast forward to 2013, Anatoliy launched Tab-TV, a site all about TVs. He was the pioneer in decoding TV model numbers and remote codes. If you’ve ever read a guide on figuring out a TV’s year by its model number or a guide “Who owns this TV brand” chances are it’s based on Anatoliy’s work.

Big names like LG, Samsung, and media outlets like The Sun, ArsTechnica, Lifehacker, Android Central, ZDNet and many others have cited his work. Some industry-leading companies even use Anatoliy’s research and analysis in their internal documentation and correspondence. Taking into account Anatoliy’s articles are usually about fixing problems or untangling complicated tech questions, his works are widely cited on various, including Samsung Communities, AVForums, and many others. In 2019, he said goodbye to his 9-to-5 to go all-in on Tab-TV. A year later, he joined Splaitor and even invested in it.

Today, Anatoliy wears multiple hats. He’s the CEO of both Tab-TV and Splaitor, and the go-to Editor-in-Chief for Tab-TV. Over at Splaitor, he’s not just the Head of Content but also sits on the review board and acts as a key editor.

Experience

Before hopping on the Splaitor train, Valeriy was a big deal in network security, working for a global company. He also had a side hustle, piecing together and selling computers. In 2021, he joined the Splaitor and Tab-TV crew, climbing the ladder from Senior Writer to Deputy Editor-in-Chief. With a knack for tech, Valeriy’s the guy who fine-tunes our articles, dissects TV manuals, and crafts one-of-a-kind content you won’t stumble upon anywhere else online.

But wait, there’s more to Valeriy. He’s got a soft spot for photo editing and all things Photoshop. While he won’t call himself an illustration guru, he’s ace at designing article covers and crafting eye-catching images for our reviews. Plus, he had a hand in shaping the TV test bench for both Tab-TV and Splaitor.

Before diving into the Splaitor world, Ivan Makhynia was the go-to Operational Manager for a photo-publishing company in the CIS region. He also dabbled in Network Systems consulting for small businesses. His knack for breaking down tech tangles for the everyday Joe made his switch to digital publishing a breeze.

Ivan’s a research whiz, and that’s a big win for Team Splaitor. He digs deep, whether it’s dissecting software docs or crunching numbers on streaming service costs. These days, he’s not just penning articles; he’s also the quality-check editor and the mastermind behind organizing Splaitor’s Tech section.

Experience

Before jumping into the Splaitor scene, Vlada was the brains behind her own online clothing shop. She also clocked in some hours at a local law firm as an Associate. But let’s be real, law wasn’t her jam; she craved something more dynamic. So, she pivoted to digital writing, and it’s been a smooth ride. Her work’s caught fire, getting shoutouts on forums and even WikiHow.

Vlada’s an Apple fan, and it shows. A chunk of our Apple coverage? That’s her handiwork or guided by her two cents. She’s also our trendspotter, keeping the team clued in on the latest internet buzz.
