Igor Pavlov(Programmer)
Igor Pavlov is Developer, he is creator of 7-Zip, most popular and a free and open-source file archiver, a utility used to place groups of files within compressed containers. It is first released in 1999. The LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain-Algorithm) algorithm was designed by Igor Pavlov.
He created his first compression program when there is less use of archive tools(or not much archive tool). In 2003 asking about feeling regard 7-zip popularity, he said "LZMA compression algorithm (which is main method in 7-Zip) has pretty good results among all archivers, if we consider overall ranking by decompression speed / compression ratio. The main competitor for 7-Zip now is WinRAR."
