GATAlife Team
The people and principles behind GATAlife.
Nikolai Andrianov
A product and growth executive with ten years in mobile — leading teams across CMO and CPO roles, shipping products that collectively reached over 500 million downloads per year and nine-figure revenue scale.
GATAlife is his answer to a problem he watched grow for years: people have data about what they eat, but no way to make sense of it. No interpretation. No context. Just numbers that create anxiety instead of reducing it.
He builds the product AI-native — using Claude, OpenAI Codex, and Cursor as a full development environment. The stack is production-grade: GPT-5 for text, vision, and voice, Google Firebase and Cloud infrastructure on the backend, React Native on iOS and Android.
How we build
GATAlife runs lean by design. Engineering, product, and AI decisions are owned by the founder. This is not a constraint — it is a deliberate architecture choice that allows the product to move fast, stay focused, and avoid the overhead that slows early-stage consumer apps.
We are actively expanding the team with two specific roles: a senior React Native engineer and a registered dietitian advisor to validate the nutrition interpretation layer.
