About

I take a business process or a product idea and turn it into a working prototype that users can test; one core flow takes about two weeks. AI coding agents write most of the code. I make the product decisions and check every screen by hand.

At FSK Group I work on a contractor portal that more than 1,000 companies use. I also built a quiz funnel for Nadezhda Morozova, a nutritionist.

More about me. Starts with one free working screen and a 2-week Aha Sprint, then a contract or a full-time role.

Work

  • Nutrition quiz funnel: 8 leads and 2 paying clients, about $1,000, from the first 73 visitors.
  • Alloy (Contract): Setup as a chat that ends with a working agent. The CEO and the CPO liked it.
  • Atrium (Open source): A working product in seven days, and my friends moved in. Then I checked who else needed it.
  • Basetalk (Hackathon): Our team took 2nd overall at a Russian national hackathon final (300+ finalists). Now runs at Zunami on local models.

Hackathons and side projects

  • LineGuard AI (Hackathon): 1st in a regional round of a Russian national hackathon, built in 3.5 days.
  • Sequence (Side project): Worked end to end. Closed when Figma shipped Motion.
  • Allo (Pet project): Launched in Telegram. About ten users, most of them friends.
  • Plantify (Course project): Eight interviews cut the two top-scored features from the MVP.

Aha Sprint

New users reach the aha moment. You see it in the numbers. For live AI products with a developer and no designer.

€2,000 / 2 weeks: €1,000 to start, €1,000 after you accept. Pilot price · 3 spots, then €4,000

Week 1

  • An analytics event on every step to payment, so you see where new users drop
  • 8 user interviews, I run them, so you hear why

Week 2

  • The path to the first task, shipped in your code, so they reach it
  • A keep-or-cut list for your features, so you stop building what slows them
  • A test with 5 new users, their sessions in PostHog for you to watch

First Task Guarantee

5 new users reach their first task without help. If not, I keep working for up to 2 more weeks for free. If they still don't, you skip the second €1,000.

Before you pay: one working screen, free. Stop after week one, pay nothing more.

How do I see the test with the 5 new users?
The 5 new users' sessions are recorded in PostHog, so you see them yourself.
