About me
I build production pipelines: systems that take raw input and deliver finished output on a schedule, without a person repeating the same step every time.
The flagship is video. Footage lands in a folder, finished vertical reels come out: cutting, subtitles, covers, publishing, per-reel analytics. One new account, 103 reels in 27 days and 60k views. A travel blog, 251 phone clips into 18 reels. Events, 96 GB of 8K into 32 reels.
The same machinery does other work: API integrations (Meta, Instagram, Telegram, GitHub), client approval portals, scheduled jobs that retry and stop loudly on error instead of failing in silence, data collection into a database I run myself. Python, ffmpeg, Node, SQLite, own servers.
Software engineer by education, five years plus a master's. Product manager at an audio analytics company before this.
English, Russian, Polish (basic).

Portfolio
The client drops raw 4K takes, photos, music and fonts into one folder. The system picks the vertical crop, sets titles and captions, renders the cover and publishes daily. 103 reels, 60,000 views and 65 hours watched in 27 days.
A water vending network in Warsaw. Footage shot on a phone at the location from a short script, no crew, no studio. 23 clips in; 3 concepts, 19 versions and 56 builds behind the scenes. Output: a finished vertical ad reel for the feed.
Three events, 96 GB of 8K recordings, no markup. A virtual camera moves inside the 8K frame, so vertical reels come out without a second shoot. 32 reels plus a sponsor report on 8 ad slots found in the footage itself.
The blogger shoots on her phone and hands the footage over as is. Everything after that is automated: vertical cut to the voice track, colour, audio clean-up, GPS route, covers and captions. 251 raw clips in, 18 reels out, 15 published.
