Front-End Engineer
Yuri is a native of Cloverdale, California; a Web developer; and passionate about technology. He worked in information technology within the dental industry before joining Native Instinct, where he has developed sites for clients that include Virgin Charter, Cytel, Pure Digital Technologies, and JUMBOshrimp Advertising. Yuri has taken the lead in developing the infrastructure for many of our rapid prototyping efforts, working with technologies that include PHP, CSS, HTML, and JavaScript.

Yuri and Ein are the only known members of the team with RFID chips implanted in their bodies. Yuri got his while studying computer science at UC Santa Cruz so that “when the robot uprising comes, the robots will know that I'm a friend.”

In his free time, Yuri spends his time playing with his collection of video game consoles, throwing balls for Ein, and working on his web based RSS reader, which he believes will change the world.
