The mountains deserve dedicated, passionate writers. After all, the most beautiful things are the hardest to describe.

“Sergei is a passionate outdoors enthusiast with a particular writing talent. We met him while on the hunt for ski resort guides but he quickly demonstrated being capable of much more complex tasks. He has been managing our editorial strategy and writing his own articles on all things outdoors ever since.”

Denis Bulichenko

Founder and CEO of PeakVisor

Sergei Poljak

    At PeakVisor, I’m given editorial work and the freedom to choose what topics to write about. I developed a strategy to promote our mobile app, the company’s primary source of revenue.

    When I was young, I relished the feeling of tumbling head first into a great read. Hours would pass and I wouldn’t think about turning the pages or looking at the words. Even in college classes, the quality of writing in the textbook made an outsized impact on my ability to focus. In today’s internet, this quality of content is becoming exceedingly rare. As a writer, I’m methodical about the flow of my words in an effort to preserve the literary value of informative content. My goal is to make the reader feel as if they are not reading at all, but effortlessly visualizing the information. The end product is a more satisfied, learned, and better-informed reader.

    As an editor, I bring a seasoned expert voice and careful fact checking to your mountain content.

    I can adapt to any assignment relating to the outdoors, whether skiing, biking, trekking, cycling, running, climbing, swimming, fitness, nutrition, and more. My environmental science degree also gives insight into other, more technical subjects like weather, ecology, and geology.

    I love writing from experience but am just as eager to dive into research to bring flair to any project.

    If any of this piques your interest, feel free to contact me via email or WhatsApp. Check out my Strava page to see what I’m up to in the mountains.
