The team at Economic Research and Analysis is made up of experienced traders, backend engineers, and data analysts who share a genuine interest in the skin economy. We work in a flat structure where decisions are made collaboratively and every team member has direct input into product direction. Our collective trading background means we approach every feature as users first and builders second.
Co-Founder & Platform Lead
Marcus has been trading TF2 and CS items since 2014 and brought that hands-on experience into the design of zolomenab.com's core trading engine. He oversees overall product direction and is responsible for major feature decisions. When he is not building, he is still actively trading on the platform himself.
Backend Engineer
Yeva designed and maintains the offer-matching and price-aggregation systems that sit at the heart of the platform. She has a background in distributed systems and has optimised the pipeline to handle high volumes of concurrent trade requests without latency spikes. Her work directly determines how fast and reliably trades are processed.
Data & Pricing Analyst
Daniel is responsible for the accuracy and freshness of the market data that powers price tracking across all three supported games. He monitors data sources continuously and investigates anomalies that could mislead traders. His analysis also feeds into the platform's trend charts and price alert system.
Security & Trust Systems
Sasha built the reputation scoring model and trade verification layer that protect users from fraudulent offers. She has a background in applied security and brings a methodical approach to identifying and closing potential vectors for abuse. Her work is the reason traders on the platform can act with confidence.
Community & Support Lead
Owen manages the help desk, moderates the community space, and acts as the primary voice of users inside the product team. He has a deep knowledge of common trading disputes and has written most of the platform's documentation. His role ensures that real user problems are surfaced quickly and addressed before they become systemic issues.
