What I'm doing

Main work — AI lead at KNESS Group: researching, building and rolling out AI agents and automation across the company, end to end. On the side — fStik, QuotLy and a few Telegram bots, servers and databases in my own hands. Open for select AI & automation consulting — ugly problems preferred, demo budget optional.

About

Started at twelve, editing uCoz sites with too much time on my hands. 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, 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, a large manufacturing group, as AI lead. I pick what's worth building, build it, wire it into real systems, and stay to make it work.

On the side I run my own bots and write at @LyBlog.

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. Working stack: TypeScript on Node.js, React / Next.js on the frontend, Python for ML, Telegram through Telegraf, grammY, TDLib, MTProto and Mini Apps. All on my own boxes: Linux, Docker, Sentry, MongoDB / Postgres / Redis
