At InnScience, research isn’t just something we support—it’s something we live, test, and build around every day. As a fully remote company working across, Toronto, Vancouver and Peru, we collaborate daily to solve one of the most pressing challenges in academia and innovation: helping researchers move faster, connect better, and discover with confidence.
Unlike traditional organizations, our day doesn’t begin in a shared office or conference room. It begins in motion. Whether someone is writing a new line of code, reviewing AI results, testing a new filter on DataScope, or following up with a pilot partner—someone on the team is already deep in it.
Where We Are (and How We Work Together)
In Toronto, Stany Castillo, our CEO, leads the company’s strategic direction and product vision. He ensures we stay focused on building scalable solutions that address researcher pain points without adding complexity. He’s joined by Dr. Matthew Nikitczuk, our Technical Sales Specialist, whose academic background in planetary science and geochemistry gives our product roadmap real-world grounding. Katerina Bavaro, our Research and Development Specialist, works closely with the product and engineering teams to validate research use cases, ensure ethical compliance, and bring interdisciplinary academic insight into product decisions.
In Vancouver, Noureldin M. leads business development and strategic outreach. He connects with academic institutions, startup accelerators, and innovation teams to bring Tech Link and DataScope into real-world research environments. Whether he’s preparing a new pilot rollout, crafting messaging, or analyzing user feedback, his work ensures that our tools stay closely aligned with actual researcher needs.
Our IT and engineering team is based in Peru, led by CTO Alex Villavicencio, who is a FullStack Developer whom architects and oversees the development of our AI infrastructure. With him is Software Developer Anthony Siprak, who brings product ideas to life with fast iteration, clean backend logic, and an understanding of how researchers actually use digital tools.
And surrounding this core team is a group that plays a critical role: our advisory board. Made up of researchers, technologists, and industry leaders, they guide our long-term strategy and ensure academic credibility in everything we release. Their input is vital in shaping product decisions, testing features, and keeping our platform future-facing.
How the Day Flows
Because we’re remote, our workflow is built around trust, clarity, and autonomy. We don’t need to be in the same place to stay on the same page.
A typical day starts with async check-ins—catching up on Slack threads, reviewing updated research prompts, or scanning pilot user feedback in Notion. Someone in Peru may have pushed a new update overnight. Someone in Canada might already be testing it against a live academic use case. While we’re separated by thousands of miles, our projects move forward with near-continuous momentum.
We rely on shared tools—Slack, Notion, GitHub, Figma, and internal analytics dashboards—to keep our conversations structured and visible. Feedback loops are short. Ownership is clear. Everyone works cross-functionally, whether you're refining AI filters, reviewing researcher profile suggestions, or coordinating a co-branded campaign with a university partner.
Research Happens Everywhere, All Day
Throughout the day, our focus is consistent: how do we make research easier?
That question might lead to refining how Tech Link matches researchers with collaborators. Or it might involve testing new retrieval logic in DataScope to return more relevant papers for an interdisciplinary query. It could mean rethinking UX based on a PhD’s feedback or discussing ethical safeguards in new research categories.
Every day, we’re working on real challenges—document clutter, collaboration silos, and the slow pace of discovery—and building systems that tackle them head-on.
Collaboration Without Borders
What makes our remote model work is not just tools—it’s intentionality.
With Vancouver, Toronto, and Peru all in the loop, we’ve built a global workflow that mirrors the global research community we serve. Decisions are made with multiple perspectives at the table. Culture is shaped by transparency, shared accountability, and a deep respect for deep work.
By the time one team signs off, another picks up. Work continues, ideas iterate, and researchers get a little closer to solving their next big challenge—because we made something that worked.
This Is InnScience
A day in the life at InnScience isn’t linear or predictable—but it’s always purposeful.
We show up each day to build technology that’s grounded in science, accelerated by artificial intelligence, and made human by the team behind it.
This is how we collaborate. This is how we research.
This is how we’re building the future of academic discovery—together, remotely, every day.
