## 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. Also won first place at the official **Telegram Mini App Contest (2023)**.

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.
