Projects

Products I have vibe-coded with Claude Code and Lovable — from AI planners to a marketplace. Each one started the same way legal work does: map the workflow, structure the data, iterate until it holds.

Live

Astrologic

An astrology platform: free natal chart generation, daily transit forecasts, and booking with verified astrologers — a full product with real-time charts and a marketplace layer.

Live

Bloom Planner

A task planner and goal & habit tracker with an AI chat assistant, built for a Russian-speaking audience — my take on making planning feel personal rather than corporate.

Live

Wedding Tables

A guest-seating tool I built for my own wedding: drag guests across tables, resolve conflicts, keep families happy. My favourite kind of build — a real workflow problem I had, solved end-to-end.

Live

Wander Plans

A travel planner that turns a trip idea into a structured, day-by-day itinerary — the same instinct as deal work: take something ambiguous and give it an executable plan.

Live

Wedding Invitations

A digital invitation site for my wedding — RSVP flow included. Built because a designed link beats a paper card, and because every event is a workflow if you look closely enough.
