Anton
Averianov
Senior iOS Developer
His older brother sparked his love for computers early on, and he soon became the go-to person among friends for building PCs and installing software. After graduating from a math-focused high school, he entered a technical university to study computer science. He successfully earned a Master’s degree and later completed a second Bachelor’s in Economics. Over the next 11 years, he worked as a programmer-analyst, but eventually sought a more globally relevant path. He chose Apple’s Swift programming language, aligning with his preference for proprietary software, which he believes is generally more reliable than open-source alternatives. He completed several courses in Swift, relocated to Canada, and proudly joined Digital Factory as an intern — an opportunity he deeply values.

What we at Human believe
For a healthcare system to grow, and thrive, in every aspect, it takes interoperability. This ability is what gives members in the network the confidence, freedom, to flourish within the system and openly share personal health concerns.
As the healthcare conduit to your members, we give them full control of their healthcare information. It lets them have better outcomes when they visit with their health professionals. But equally as important, it builds the confidence that creates preventative healthcare and is the next step to humans gaining healthier lives and lifestyles.
Building human connections. It's what we do best.
