AI-powered translation and localization platform used in 100+ countries by hundreds of thousands of users and enterprise clients. I reimagined the product experience around AI agents, transforming a traditional SaaS interface into a unified, chat-driven workflow that simplifies translation, review, and content generation while reducing complexity of legacy tools.

AI Video Creator

Concept

Web App

A concept for an AI-powered video creation platform built around a unified workflow. I designed an end-to-end experience connecting script writing, chapter and scene breakdown, and video generation, enabling users to create structured video narratives while maintaining context and consistency across the entire production process.

Script-to-video flow — users describe the idea for a video in a prompt, defining the overall narrative and intent. The system generates a structured script, which is then broken down into chapters and scenes, each with detailed descriptions and voiceover, forming the foundation for video generation.

I came up with a tool for working with textual information, writing articles based on approved scientific publications, fact-checking, discovering information, and tracking new publications. My idea is to combine the ability to interact with an AI model in a conversational dialogue format with the option to write text independently. The tool allows users to get contextual suggestions or assistance from the AI model in a second-screen mode, or activates when they select any fragment of text.

A website featuring a catalog of 3D models created using a 3D scanner. Its goal is to interactively and engagingly showcase the scanner’s capabilities, allowing users to quickly assess the quality of the 3D models produced through scanning. The catalog includes a wide variety of objects, such as complex engineering mechanisms, museum artifacts, works of art, and human body parts for medical research. I suggested adding the ability to explore these models with different textures applied, under various lighting conditions, and against diverse backgrounds to enhance the user experience.
