## What I'm doing

**Main work:** AI Lead at KNESS Group. Researching, building and rolling out AI agents and automation across the company, from picking the problem to stable production.

**On the side:** running fStik, QuotLy and a few more Telegram bots; servers and databases all on my own machines.

**Open for:** select AI & automation consulting. Most interesting when the problem is real and not meant for a demo.

## About

Started at twelve, editing uCoz sites with too much time on hand. Then came PHP, then VK bots, then the Telegram ecosystem I still live inside today.

Millions of people have used something I wrote, mostly through fStik and QuotLy. Once won **first place** at the official Telegram Mini App Contest (2023), fun part of the CV, but not the main thing anymore.

The main thing now is AI that actually lands inside a real company — agents and automation the business can depend on, not things that only look good in a demo. I do that at KNESS Group as AI Lead.

## How I build

For about two years now I've been writing mostly in a pair with AI agents. Day to day it's **Claude** — currently the strongest tool I've tested. **GPT** and **Gemini** I keep around for verification and comparison, not primary drafting.

- **TypeScript** on Node.js
- **React / Next.js** on the frontend
- **Python** for ML
- **Telegram** via Telegraf, grammY, TDLib, MTProto, Mini Apps
- **Data**: MongoDB, Postgres, Redis
- **Infra**: Linux, Docker, Sentry, all on my own boxes
