CODE · 2020 →

From markup to backend

Markup, frontend, full-stack, then three years of server-side development in Java and Kotlin. These days the code is written by AI agents while I set the direction and hold the quality bar. I read and edit their code myself — otherwise a review comes down to taking the agent's word for it.

График коммитов на GitHub с февраля по сентябрь 2026: плотная сетка активных дней

The graph starts in February: before that I was at Samokat, and the code went into a corporate GitLab rather than here. The densest month is July with 514 contributions: that is Shotra.

EMPLOYED · 2021 — 2025

On teams

Four companies between 2021 and 2025, from building interfaces to server-side development in Java and Kotlin. All of it other people's codebases, other people's processes and code review — the part you cannot learn on your own projects.

MY OWN PROJECTS · 2021 → 2026

For the love of it

I write constantly and mostly for myself: over twenty repositories of my own, the public part on GitHub. The ones below are the interesting ones. Almost all of them grew out of a problem of my own that was easier to close with code than to put up with.

  • ☎️ AI Calls

    A voice agent that rings a person itself and settles the matter in conversation. By voice rather than text, which is a different kind of engineering.

  • 🎬 Story to Film

    Turns a written story into a short film: the script goes to a model, the frames to Luma.

  • 📊 tg-monitor

    Measures my channel: reach, reactions per emoji, top commenters, best time to publish. Jana runs on it.

  • 📈 Metrics

    One metrics service for all my bots, on FastAPI. Once there are many bots, counting each separately stops working.

  • 🧾 fns-receipts

    Reads my receipts out of the tax service app and builds analytics from them. Where the money goes, with nothing typed in by hand.

  • 🏦 ReceiptConnector

    Pulls payments from exchanges, banks and payment systems into one bot. They share no common format, so every source is parsed separately.

  • 📑 Registry deduplicator

    Finds duplicates in payment documents. A dull job there is no way out of by hand.

  • 🔁 tg-inst-sync

    Carries posts from a Telegram channel over to Instagram. I refuse to write the same thing twice.

  • 🎧 sense_of_music

    Breaks a music profile down from a playlist: genre shares, tempo range, charts. Data from Spotify, Yandex Music and getsongbpm.

  • 🍕 Pizza Choice

    Choosing pizza for a group: the model reads the menu off a photo, everyone scores. A veto counts as zero and knocks an option out if half the group used one.

  • 💬 stickerbuddy

    Explains Russian stickers in English, with the context of the conversation. Half the meaning of a sticker is when it was sent.

  • 🌯 Shaurmania

    A whole café single-handed: brand identity, shop interface, markup and order intake through the Telegram API.

  • 🛂 DTV Copilot

    Walks you through the four stages of a Thai DTV visa application. Written while I was going through it myself.

  • 🧮 Mum's bookkeeping

    Computes average headcount for a small company. Written for my mother so she would stop adding it up by hand.

  • ✨ Upgrade My CV

    Turns any CV into an interactive page. The irony being that I am building my own by hand.

  • 🏛 burokrat

    A game about bureaucracy: one office after another. With purchases in Telegram Stars.

  • 🏥 MedSave

    Personal medical records with documents parsed by a model: test results and discharge notes assemble into a history.

  • 📰 Good News

    Collects regional news from Tver. From Chiang Mai you only see your home town through a feed.

  • 💰 openai_usage_tracker

    Counts what I spend on models, packaged separately. When you pay for tokens yourself, you want to see the bill.

  • 🔤 hangman

    Hangman with one shared word of the day for everybody. You can set words for each other; attempts and records are tracked.

  • 👕 taobao adviser

    Works out size and fit for clothes on Taobao: oversized, baggy, tight. The size charts there lie in their own particular way.

  • 🗝 homies_quest

    A flat-sized quest for a group: challenges, finding objects, riddles. Each one gives a letter, and the letters spell a word.

  • 🗡 aizen_soske_bot

    Answers in the voice of a character from Bleach — his manner, his sarcasm, and the «-kun» forms of address.

  • 🍎 food analyzer

    From a photograph it works out whether it is a face or food, and analyses it accordingly.
