Internal operations tool
A working interface for a process that currently lives in Excel, messaging apps, and manual handoffs: statuses, owners, checks, notifications, and an activity log.
For cases where off-the-shelf SaaS does not fit the workflow, data is scattered across spreadsheets and APIs, or a web product needs its first working release without hiring a full team.
I personally lead the work from business problem to first release: scope, backend, data, integrations, a simple interface, logs, deployment, and handoff.
The output is not a presentation or a consulting session, but the first working version.
Choose the closest situation. Each has its own scope, timeline, budget, and definition of done.
If reports, reconciliations, statuses, or research are assembled from Excel, CRM, email, messaging apps, APIs, and files, I build one operational workflow instead of repeated manual handoffs.
A campaign landing page, company website, or catalog: structure, copy, design, responsive layout, forms, analytics, and launch.
Turn PDFs, scans, spreadsheets, and emails into validated fields, a review queue, and structured output for Excel, CRM, ERP, or an API.
For a company or a prepared founder who needs the first version of a service, client portal, or internal product around one primary user journey.
If a demo in Cursor, Claude, Lovable, Bolt, or Replit already proves the idea, but it still needs to become a working web service for its first users.
Not because a new technology looks interesting, but because there is already a recurring process, a real cost of error, or a specific product release that needs to be validated.
The team repeatedly copies data, prepares summaries, checks statuses, or performs the same research.
Missing data, an overlooked status, or a late report affects revenue, a client, an SLA, or a management decision.
Spreadsheets, CRM, portals, email, messaging apps, files, and APIs do not produce one operational picture without manual assembly.
A standard tool solves only part of the problem, while workarounds and manual exports remain.
One primary outcome can be isolated and validated in 2-4 weeks before hiring a team or committing a large budget.
The demo works, but the code, data, access, operations, and AI/API costs need to be understood before launch.
Facts from product, enterprise, and client work. No invented case studies and no promises of business outcomes that depend on more than engineering.
Led product and project delivery for systems at a major oil and gas company, including field-development planning tools, collaborative planning platforms, digital core-analysis workflows, and other internal products.
A traffic-filtering workflow based on rules, behavioral signals, and click scoring. The share of irrelevant traffic was reduced by more than an order of magnitude.
Backend workflows for advertising data: conversion preprocessing, server-side web attribution, rule-based campaign actions, and integrations with advertising APIs.
A Python service showing which formats and creatives competitors run, in which cities and networks, with collection, normalization, and a review interface.
A role-based client account with billing, a rule-based strategy builder, and exchange API integrations, delivered from idea to a working platform.
More than ten years working with web projects in different roles: hands-on delivery in my own studio, project delivery at a larger agency, and end-to-end web-service development. Dozens of websites and platforms, from property developers to government portals.
Not an attempt to automate the whole company and not an unbounded product. One process, module, or user journey that can run on real data and be evaluated by its result.
A working interface for a process that currently lives in Excel, messaging apps, and manual handoffs: statuses, owners, checks, notifications, and an activity log.
A focused backend layer that connects a website, external APIs, spreadsheets, messaging apps, a database, and reports into one operational workflow.
Data collection, recurring reports, issue alerts, and status control so a manager can see what is happening without manual summaries and late surprises.
A tool that repeatedly collects source data, filters it with rules and an LLM, produces a shortlist, and sends a report.
The first product slice: user journey, backend, basic interface, roles, data, APIs, and an admin area when needed. A working first version rather than a presentation.
An MVP web product for a company: client portal, roles, statuses, documents, requests, reports, or data exchange with clients and partners.
Over 13 years in tech, I have run my own web studio, led client projects at major web agencies, and managed digital product development at Gazprom Neft's Digital Transformation Center. I have worked with public-sector clients, and at a startup I was independently responsible for the entire product - from the idea and business logic to developing, launching, and operating the web service.
Today I combine product discovery, technical decision-making, and hands-on development in one role. I personally define the scope, design the solution, build the critical components, launch it, and hand over a working result. The client works directly with me, without a chain of managers and contractors.
A focused sprint that turns a loosely defined task into a working tool: one clear result, a scoped first release, and 2-4 weeks from initial review to handoff.
I clarify what the business needs, where the real value is, and what can be left out of the first release.
I remove nonessential work and lock the scope so the project does not expand without control.
I define data, APIs, roles, user flows, constraints, errors, logs, and notifications so the build is concrete.
Python/FastAPI, APIs, LLMs, scraping, databases, a simple interface, and email or messaging notifications as required.
Demo, instructions, stabilization, and a plan for the next phase so the tool can continue to operate and evolve.
We usually start with a short technical assessment, then move into a sprint or a larger phase. Support is for tools that are already running, not an undefined subscription.
For a new task: feasibility, risks, and first-release scope. For an existing prototype: a review of the current solution when the implementation range cannot be estimated responsibly without looking at the code.
A new-task assessment starts at from $500. An existing-prototype assessment is $800-$1,500. If a sprint starts within 14 days, the assessment fee can be credited toward its budget.
For work where the first useful release can be built in 2-4 weeks: an MVP, internal tool, AI workflow, portal, integration, or dashboard.
For projects where the MVP or first release does not fit into one sprint. Work is divided into stages with a clear outcome, timeline, budget, and definition of done.
For tools that are already live: monitoring, troubleshooting, small improvements, consultation, and continued development without losing context. New modules, major features, integrations, and business-logic changes are estimated separately.
To produce a working result, I define the first-release boundaries up front: what is being built, why, on which data, for whom, and what counts as done.
I do not start with 'automate the entire company'. We first isolate one useful result.
I do not take on work without a client-side owner, access to source data, and a clear acceptance criterion.
I do not promise sales growth when the underlying issue is product, marketing, or team execution.
I use AI in controlled scenarios: search, analysis, classification, drafts, and reporting. High-impact actions are designed with rules, logs, and human confirmation where needed.
If the work requires narrow expertise in a specialized platform or advanced design, a relevant specialist is added. My core area is MVPs, backend, APIs, data, LLMs, integrations, and working tools.
I do not work with gambling, deceptive financial offers, fraud, or products designed to mislead users.
We do not begin with a large build. We first understand the task, ask the necessary questions, define the first release, and only then implement it.
What you want to achieve, what is currently done manually, and which data, systems, or sources already exist.
We determine whether the task fits my format and whether a paid assessment is the right next step.
I clarify the process, users, constraints, data, risks, integrations, and expected outcome.
We agree on what is in scope, what is not, the timeline, budget, and acceptance criteria.
I build the tool, show working parts, clarify details as needed, and keep the project inside the agreed scope.
Demo, instructions, stabilization, support, or the next development phase.
Direct answers. If your situation is not covered, describe the task, current process, data, and desired result in the form below.
I do not just execute a list of tickets. I help identify the first result that is actually needed, define the release, build the working tool, and hand it over for use.
This format fits when you need one accountable technical partner for the first phase rather than a full development team that you must manage.
Large projects without a working first release often turn into long discussions, uncontrolled scope growth, and lost focus. A 2-4 week sprint produces a real version and exposes actual risks before a larger investment.
Yes. A focused technical assessment covers feasibility, major risks, an indicative budget, and the boundaries of the first release, with no obligation to continue.
The introductory call qualifies the task and selects the next step. It does not include solution design or a detailed specification.
The technical assessment is paid work covering feasibility, risks, first-release scope, the expected budget range, and the next practical step. If a Working Tool Sprint starts within 14 days, the assessment fee can be credited toward it.
A draft, demo, or prototype can often be built independently. That is a reasonable first step.
My work becomes useful when the result must operate on real data with access control, roles, errors, logs, deployment, APIs, a database, notifications, and support. I do not compete with AI tools; I turn their output into an operational business tool.
If the demo already proves the idea but needs to become a working release for its first users, the project can start with an implementation sprint. A separate technical assessment is needed only when the state of the code or the scope is genuinely unclear.
Yes. AI can support research, classification, drafting, knowledge-base search, data processing, reporting, or user guidance.
I do not sell a 'magic agent' that is expected to decide everything autonomously. High-impact actions are designed with explicit rules, logs, and human approval where required.
Yes. If a larger phase needs additional engineers, designers, or narrow domain expertise, I can involve specialists while retaining responsibility for the technical scope, communication, and outcome.
Any system with an API, webhooks, a stable export, or another reliable data-exchange method: websites, CRM, spreadsheets, databases, messaging services, payment providers, data sources, and SaaS products.
For specialized platform work, I can work alongside a platform expert while covering backend, APIs, data exchange, processing, and the operational tool.
The minimum entry point is a technical assessment from from $500. A Working Tool Sprint is typically $3,000-$9,000.
Describe the recurring workflow, web-service idea, or existing prototype. I will tell you whether there is an economically sensible first phase and which format fits.
I will review the task and usually reply within one business day. If it requires a closer review, I will get back with a short assessment within 1-2 business days.
