Over the last 28+ years we (now Logrus IT) have grown from 3 employees to 160+, with multiple offices around the world, including China and Korea (added at the end of 2017).
True to his scientific background, Leonid is continuing research and publishing papers on numerous topics, including his favorite: Language Quality Evaluation Methodology and Process. Leonid has developed the Multidimensional Holistic Quality Approach that makes it possible to evaluate the quality, usability, informativeness, language quality, and a multitude of other factors for any content, both original and localized. Some of his articles are listed below:
Leonid's 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 demonstrating creative thinking.
