Projects

Projects

Flibbo AI · 2024

Built the entire backend Live on Google Play

Flibbo turns one prompt into cinematic AI video, images and copyright-free music using frontier models, then puts it in front of an audience. I designed and built the whole backend: Django/DRF APIs with JWT + Google/Apple login, posts, podcasts and books, real-time chat, points and referrals, an AI studio wrapping OpenAI, Stability, HeyGen, D-ID and Fliki, crypto checkout via Plisio and Firebase push notifications. Live on Google Play and iOS.

Artonomy · 2025

Founder

My own startup. Artists get a public profile and portfolio, publish art posts, sell products and offer services, and get discovered through a category-based explore section. A spotlight system with stars, referrals and boosts promotes profiles; the site also has homepage ads, support tickets and visit tracking for admins.

FLHub · 2026

Users buy subscription levels with USDT via Plisio and land in an MPTT referral tree. Multiple wallets per user, bonus + promotion engine, withdrawals, and a simulator to test the reward model without touching real money.

BlackJack Casino Bot · 2024

200+ active users

A full Telegram casino on a Django backend: multiplayer blackjack, horse racing and minigames, player progression, quests, inventory, referrals and an admin control panel. Game rules live in independently tested services. Grew to 200+ active users.
