Hey, I'm Ivan,

I'm 20.000000000 years old↻

I like to work in the overlap.

Machine learning, the craft of building product, and the nerve to start things. The edges are just as fun.

Projects

Airplane emoji
Rebook
2026

Finds the flight the airline won't offer after a cancellation: every airport in both metro areas, every carrier, live seats confirmed for your whole party, plus the DOT refund math on every option. Paste the airline's text and a language model fills the rest in. Built in Python on Duffel and OpenAI.

Brick emoji
Bloxable
2026

Prompt-first Roblox game creation. Describe a game in chat and an AI edits a real Roblox place: every change is a validated patch against a canonical instance tree, rendered live in a three.js preview, then built into a place file you can open in Studio and publish to your own account. Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and three.js.

Megaphone emoji
Interlink Ads
2026

A privacy-safe sponsored status line for the Claude Code terminal. No account, no code access, reversible in a single line. The wait while the model thinks becomes the placement.

Thundercloud with rain emoji
Vantage
2026

Turns live NWS/NOAA hail data into the real homes inside a storm footprint, then scores and ranks them as roofing leads. Built with Next.js, Supabase, and OpenStreetMap.

Basketball emoji
NBA Finals Trading
2026

A live algorithmic-trading and market-microstructure research lab for NBA prediction markets, built in Python on top of nba_api.

Compass emoji
Bearing
2026

A wind tunnel for ideas. It takes an unfinished idea and forks it through a dozen context-isolated reasoning branches, each applying one creative operation like inverting the assumption or finding the cheapest disproof. Adversarial judges stress-test every branch, and a chairman synthesizes a decision packet, all streamed into one chat thread. Built with Node, Express, and the Claude API.
