I Built an App Overnight With AI — And It Actually Worked
A late-night idea, Lovable for design, Claude for planning, and a LaunchAgent running prompts while I slept. By morning, I had a working prototype.
Thinking out loud about software, AI & the craft of building.
I'm Almas — a senior software engineer who writes about AI, web development, and the decisions that shape great products. Welcome to my corner of the internet.

About
A little context
I've been building software for over ten years — mostly web, mostly products that real people touch every day. Currently working at SQUID App, focusing on AI-driven solutions.
My stack runs deep: React, TypeScript, Python, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and AWS. I hold a Bachelor's in Applied Mathematics and Informatics from PFUR and a Master's in Applied Mathematics from MEPhI, both in Moscow. Now based in Kazakhstan, building things that matter.
I've also contributed to AI research at ISSAI, Nazarbayev University — co-authoring papers on Kazakh speech recognition, text-to-speech synthesis, COVID-19 modeling, and medical imaging published at EACL, INTERSPEECH, and IEEE.
When I'm not writing code or words, I'm exploring new AI tools, reading, or just thinking about what makes software feel right.
Let's keep the conversation going
I enjoy hearing from thoughtful people — whether you want to share an idea, collaborate, or just say hello.
