Already in adolescence, Mikhail began to take an interest in natural sciences and technology.

Beginning of work
When Mikhail was still in his 4th year at the institute, he got a job at the Paragon Software Group. The founders of the company were students who studied at the same university. The company, of which Mikhail became an employee, was at that time one of the first companies in the world to develop software for mobile operating systems. In Russia, the market of mobile gadgets at that time was just beginning its development and distribution among the mass consumer.
Mikhail Fadeev got a job in the company as a customer support manager. The staff of the young company at that time consisted of several students who worked as programmers. They rented a small office on the outskirts of the town of Dolgoprudny, which is located in the Moscow region. The Paragon Software Group produced server disaster recovery products and software for smartphones. The organization has developed a handwriting recognition system, business applications, dictionaries, games and electronic encyclopedias.
Mikhail has worked for Paragon Software Group for seven years. At the time of leaving the firm, he was already serving as director of business development, heading the marketing and e-sales departments.

In 2005, the company received the Handango Champion Awards in the "Developer of the Year" category.
Continuing a career

Towards the end of 2006, Mikhail Fadeev headed the office of the communicator manufacturer E-TEN Information Systems. This corporation was founded on the island of Taiwan in 1985. Success came to the firm after its employees developed the first Chinese-language input system for computers. The software, which was developed by E-TEN Information Systems, remains the international communication standard in China today. The company began cooperation with Russia in the winter of 2003. Until 2005, its presence in the Russian market of mobile gadgets was not noticeable. In mid-2006, when Mikhail Fadeev got a job at the firm, the company began to carry out massive sales of mobile devices.

Mikhail Fadeev argued that the Google Android system will soon occupy almost half of the Russian market, leaving behind the rest of the mobile platforms.
In 2008 Mikhail, together with Marina Rozhkova, founded the marketing company "Agency of Marina Rozhkova". In 2016, Marina Rozhkova submitted an application for resignation. Without waiting for the consent of the other shareholders, she announced the sale of her stake. After Marina left the firm, the agency was renamed into the Torshinsky Trust group of companies.
