About Us

MoldSentrix is a preventive mold risk monitoring service based in the Tampa Bay area. We install environmental sensor systems in homes, community buildings, and other properties, and combine continuous monitoring with professional engineering analysis — so risk is identified before it becomes damage.

Who We Are

MoldSentrix was founded by Inha Ushakova, an IoT engineer with a formal background in environmental science. Together with her husband Dmitry, who leads field installations, she runs Goldenhandsman LLC — the Tampa Bay home services company out of which MoldSentrix was born.

Inha spent six years studying engineering programming and environmental systems at the International Sakharov State Ecological University, earning a qualification that combines environmental science with applied information technology — evaluated in the United States as equivalent to both a U.S. Bachelor's and Master's degree in Ecology and Computer Information Systems.

Before MoldSentrix, she worked as a software developer on a real-time interactive IoT communication system deployed at major public venues across the Greater Toronto Area contributing backend development and system architecture on a platform that has operated reliably for years.

How MoldSentrix Started

In 2022, Inha and Dmitry immigrated to the United States and settled in the Tampa Bay area, where they founded Goldenhandsman LLC, a home repair and handyman services company. Working inside residential properties day after day, one issue kept reappearing: hidden mold and the effects of uncontrolled humidity.

Florida's climate creates ideal conditions for mold, and it usually develops invisibly — behind walls, above ceilings, inside structures. By the time it becomes visible, the damage is already done.

Mold growth follows measurable environmental conditions — sustained humidity, temperature, and organic material. The only variable that can be continuously monitored and controlled in real time is humidity. That insight became MoldSentrix.

What We Build

MoldSentrix is not just a sensor setup — it is a monitoring service. Sensors continuously track temperature and humidity in the highest-risk zones of a property. Our AI-assisted analysis reviews the data with awareness of each specific home, and when conditions approach risk thresholds, owners receive early, actionable alerts — before damage occurs.

The principle is simple: identify risk before it becomes a problem.

Our systems are currently in use in residential properties and church environments across the Tampa Bay area. Inha is also pursuing Florida DBPR Mold Assessor certification to further formalize her expertise in this field.

Looking Ahead

We are developing MoldSentrix into a scalable preventive monitoring system for humidity-related risks in residential and nonprofit environments, with the long-term goal of expanding into high-humidity regions across the United States.

Six years of formal engineering education. A decade of applied work in environmental systems, data, and software development. And continuous hands-on field experience observing how uncontrolled moisture affects homes and families. That is what brought us here.
