I’m Evgeny Ramenskiy — Evan works too; you’ll find the long version on my academic papers.

I’m a Russian-Australian engineer based in Trondheim, Norway. I turn engineering into software.

I moved to Australia as a teenager, took my engineering master’s there, and started out as a structural engineer. It’s the country I still call home. The last decade I’ve spent building engineering software for infrastructure, starting with telecom towers, where I watched an engineer-to-order industry learn what configure-to-order could do to its cost curve. Along the way I did the whole founder circuit: selling engineering SaaS to engineers, raising money without a hype machine, and learning why “it works” is the summit of a mountain that turns out to be a foothill.

Since May 2026 I’m a PhD candidate at NTNU in Trondheim, researching design-for-industrialization of offshore wind substructures: why every foundation is still engineered like it’s the first one, and what it would take to change that.

What you’ll find here

  • Engineering, productized: turning standards, solvers and engineering workflows into software an industry can scale on.
  • Building and selling deep tech: playbooks from the founder years. Units of value, pilots with exit criteria, founder-led sales.
  • Research that ships: the PhD in public, plus the AI-assisted research tooling that keeps it honest.

I write about once a month. No newsletter popups, no engagement bait. If it’s here, I thought it was worth your time.
