Sofija Hotomski

Hey, I'm Sofija.

Product professional with over a decade of experience, from strategy to delivery, from enterprise to startup.

PhD in computer science, AI enthusiast, founder of StrongME, builder of HoloPal, and a mum of two, easily the most complex, most rewarding product I have ever shipped.

See my work

It answers in my voice, from what is on this site. If something is not here, it says so.

Things I have built

All of my work

Most recently

HoloMost & HoloPal

I founded HoloMost and built HoloPal, an AI-powered platform that lets people preserve and share their knowledge as a holographic digital self.

Founded

StrongME

A fitness and mindfulness concept I built from zero: the class concept, the website, the pitch to get the room, the marketing, the first customers. The ones who keep coming back week after week, for months, are the part I am proudest of.

Researched

GuideGen

My PhD work: when a requirement changes, GuideGen tells testers in plain language how to adapt the acceptance tests, and warns everyone when the two drift apart.

Life

Beyond the LinkedIn profile

What brings joy and balance to my life is a mix of simple yet meaningful moments: time with my family, strumming my ukulele and singing, nurturing plants in the garden, staying active through sports, and capturing the world through my lens. I feel my best at the top of a mountain, and living in Switzerland makes that surprisingly easy.

Meet my digital self

My face, my cloned voice, and everything on this site behind it. Ask it a question and I answer, the same way my friends do on HoloPal. When the answer is not here, it says so instead of making something up.
