Some engineers are drawn to the turbomachinery field by a single moment, but for Maksym Burlaka, it started with a deep curiosity about how physical systems actually work. He was fascinated by how force, heat, and motion influence real hardware, and that curiosity pointed him toward turbomachinery \u201cIt combines physics, math, fluid dynamics, materials, and very practical problem-solving,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s where theory meets real hardware meet, and it checked every box for me.<\/p>\n

After studying turbines and rotodynamic machines in school and defending his Ph.D. dissertation, Maksym found himself looking for a place where that level of engineering expertise was not just valued but was the core of the company. SoftInWay<\/a> turned out to be exactly that.<\/p>\n

Joining SoftInWay Early On<\/h3>\n

When Maksym joined SoftInWay, the company was smaller and more tightly knit than it is today. It wasn\u2019t the size that drew him in, but the culture. \u201cIt felt more like a group of engineers building something meaningful together,\u201d he says. \u201cThat was very appealing to me, and it turned out to be the right call.\u201d<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long for him to sense that something larger was taking shape. Early on, he recognized that they were not just building the AxSTREAM platform<\/a> or supporting isolated projects, but they were defining a methodology for how turbomachinery should be designed in the modern world.<\/p>\n

He reflects, \u201cThe system-level thinking embedded in the software was ahead of where the market was at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

That clarity of purpose stuck with him and still drives him today as SoftInWay\u2019s Associate Director of Technology and Project Management.<\/p>\n

Impactful Work During His Career<\/h3>\n

Over the years, Maksym has contributed to many projects and overcome a wide range of challenges, particularly on large, multidisciplinary efforts where aerodynamics, structural mechanics, thermodynamics, and system modeling all had to work together<\/p>\n

The hardest part was usually not the physics, but making sure the models were consistent, scalable, and usable by real engineers working under real constraints, including time, data quality, and budget limitations. \u201cSeeing those projects succeed, where customers were able to design, build, and validate real machines using our tools, has been incredibly rewarding,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

When reflecting on which projects stand out the most, it\u2019s not necessarily the most technically complex ones, but the projects where the team had to go beyond standard workflows and create better solutions.<\/p>\n

Maksym\u2019s System-Level Approach<\/h3>\n

If there\u2019s one principle that has shaped Maksym\u2019s approach more than any other, it\u2019s been refusing to look at engineering problems or software features as isolated pieces. Instead, he approaches them from a broader, system-level perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cConnecting the physics, the workflow, the user needs, and the long-term architecture rather than treating them as separate tracks,\u201d he says. \u201cThis helped us avoid short-term fixes and instead build solutions that were cohesive, scalable, and genuinely useful across the entire design process.\u201d<\/p>\n

That mindset also meant pushing for ideas that weren\u2019t always immediately welcomed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were several directions where the initial reaction was, \u2018that\u2019s not possible,\u2019 or \u2018this will never work,’\u201d he says. \u201cBut I\u2019ve always believed that if something makes sense from first principles, it\u2019s worth pursuing.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019d stay persistent. He\u2019d push the team to explore unconventional solutions. He\u2019d demonstrate value through prototypes and real examples. And more often than not, those once-doubted ideas turned into some of the company\u2019s most impactful developments.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on How Far SoftInWay Has Come<\/h3>\n

Looking back at how SoftInWay has evolved, Maksym says that the only visible transformation has been scale and scope. The company today operates globally, serves a wide range of industries, and takes on systems of far greater complexity than in the early days.<\/p>\n

But something more important has stayed consistent.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat hasn\u2019t changed is the engineering culture,\u201d he says. \u201cWe still care deeply about correctness, physical meaning, and not cutting corners. The challenges today are bigger, but the mindset of solving hard problems properly is still the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

This refusal to sacrifice rigor for speed is at the core of SoftInWay\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n

What Drives Maksym and Where Does He See This Going?<\/h3>\n

After everything Maksym has helped build, some might assume he\u2019d be ready to slow down\u2026but he doesn\u2019t see it that way.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still not \u2018done,’\u201d he says simply.<\/p>\n

Turbomachinery design is evolving quickly with digital engineering, AI-assisted design<\/a>, tighter integration between simulation and testing. These aren\u2019t distant possibilities, they\u2019re already reshaping the industry. And Maksym sees SoftInWay as uniquely positioned to help shape what that future looks like.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited about pushing further toward fully integrated digital workflows, smarter automation that actually understands physics, and tools that help engineers make better decisions faster, not just run more calculations.\u201d<\/p>\n

That last part matters to him: the goal isn\u2019t more calculations, but genuinely helping engineers think more clearly, design more confidently, and build machines that work.<\/p>\n

As long as that\u2019s the mission, Maksym is all in.<\/p>\n

Stories like Maksym\u2019s are a reminder that great engineering culture isn\u2019t built by accident. It\u2019s the result of people who care deeply, think rigorously, and refuse to stop asking what\u2019s possible.<\/em><\/p>\n
