Igor Konnov

If you want to pick up my brain for a few hours, drop me an email. After that, we can switch to a messenger of your choice (e.g., Signal, Telegram, or others) or have a call. For short consultations, I accept payments via Stripe. I also consider longer-term engagements (from weeks to months), which would require a contract. You can see my portfolio at konnov.phd. I am based in Austria (CET/CEST) and have experience working with clients from the US, UK, and EU.

Why contact me instead of a big-name company like XYZ? Here’s why:

  • You know exactly who's doing the work. If you hire me, I do the work. With large firms, you never know who's behind the scenes. Sometimes it's an expert. Other times, it's a ghost worker hired as a subcontractor. (I know that, since I was offered this kind of work.) If we need a larger team, I also can recommend a few people who I personally know and trust.
  • If we're not a fit, I'll tell you. If we can't agree on the timeline or budget, I won't waste your time. I'll gladly refer you to someone I trust who can get the job done.
  • No hidden costs There's no budget drain going to managers, marketers, sales teams, their friends, or overhead. What you pay goes directly to the person doing the work. While my hourly rate might seem higher than a salaried employee's, it's often a fraction of what an agency would charge for the same results.
  • Quick and clear value. I prefer short, focused engagements to get you exactly what you need. If things go well and we're both happy, we continue.
