hey, I'm Artem
I'm 21. Migrated to Lithuania alone at 16, decided to renounce and change citizenship to an EU one. Within a year I was writing essays in a language I hadn't spoken on arrival, graded on par with native speakers. At 17, got into the country's top school and compressed the full IB coursework (IAs, EE) into 2 months against a standard 18. Same year, I turned $100 into $10k running automated infrastructure across a fleet of crypto accounts.
I'm now in an AI track BSc in the Netherlands, where I've attended zero classes across two semesters and passed every exam. That time went into building products full-time, on zero external funding.
What I've built
Creator platform — shipped in 2 months. Brands don't trust scraped creator metrics (reach, engagement) that most platforms offer. I've built the solution. Creators authenticate through Meta, and a daily pipeline pulls their metrics through the authenticated API on their behalf. Brands see consented, real data for ad campaigns. The differentiator is Meta app review and verification, OAuth scopes and token handling, rate limits, and a daily sync. The tedious compliance that most won't touch. 300+ creators onboarded, 10M followers combined, and a 150k creator contact list, all for <$500 cost.
AI waiter for restaurants — piloted in restaurants with guests. Answers questions about allergens and meal pairings. A wrong allergen answer is dangerous, so it only says what the menu data backs up. Helps to off-load the waiters.
There are a few reasons why you should build with me
I've already done the EF mechanic twice: both products built remotely with co-founders I'd never met, just on trust and output. I learn faster than almost everyone I've met (see above). It's useful to understand new tech and verticals fast. I've launched and buried two projects, and I have a grasp on what a dying idea feels like.
Both things I've built came back to the same instinct: make AI trustworthy enough that a business will actually rely on it. That's the thread I want to go deep on. It matters most in industries where being wrong costs real money — payouts, claims, compliance, safety — and I'd rather pick the exact market with my co-founder.
I want to build with someone who knows a market from the inside — whether from years in an industry or from living deep in a niche — and has the energy for sales and relationships. You own the market, the customers, the commercial motion; I own product and shipping speed.
