Not a one-button
person

Born in 1994 in Vyatka, based in St. Petersburg. I connect technology, memory, media and place: I make XR worlds, automation, digital archives, texts and video wherever a single tool is no longer enough.

Now

I work at the intersection of XR, AI, web and media. I study in ITMO’s master’s programme (2026 – present).

To experience and education
Where this grows from

One interest,
many forms

I am one of those people who cannot be a one-button person. At the age of three I took apart a “Mayak” tape recorder, failed to put it back together, but understood how it was built. I have worked much the same way ever since: I connect things, watch what comes out, and look for the hidden snags.

Everything I do grows out of one question: how technology helps a person remember, understand, be present and not lose their way.

Directions

What I do

01

XR and virtual spaces

I invent and build worlds you can step into and interact with.

02

AI agents and automation

I set up systems so that people have more time for what is alive and complex.

03

Media

A story no one has told disappears. So I shoot, edit and assemble archives.

04

Web and products

I turn ideas into clear interfaces, services and durable workflows.

Manifesto

How I actually
understand all of this

About the connections between technology, memory, media and place — and about why the human dimension of the future matters to me more than another showcase of technology.
