Who's behindthe work.

Alexander Kibin — a full-cycle developer with 18+ years behind him. The path started with microcontrollers and PHP sites, ran through high-load payment systems and mobile apps, and led to neural nets. One thread throughout: I take the product all the way to live production.

About · 18+ years in software

An engineer by training, a developer by calling.

It began with industrial electronics — soldering circuits and programming microcontrollers before it became the main thing. Then came the web, payment systems, mobile. Each layer added to seeing the product whole.

I'm at my best when a task cuts through the whole stack — from the metal to the model. Where it usually takes three specialists and a pile of handoffs, I hold the context in one head and see it through.

The path

How each thing grew from the last.

2007
First code
PHP sites — where the path into development began. They quickly grew into full web services: backends, APIs, integrations with payment systems.
2010
Freelance
Building for real clients — through 2016. 25 reviews and not a single bad one: web services, CRMs, business-process automation, scraping and data collection.
2016
Crypto & blockchain
Backend for the Block.io crypto wallet (~300K users), a payment service processing ~$1M/day, Solidity smart contracts, and ERC-20 token launches for ICOs.
2017
Own practice
Registered as a sole proprietor and moved to full-cycle projects — from economics and architecture to launch and support, several products in parallel.
2018
Mobile & scale
A years-long partnership with Have a nice day e.U. (Austria): a portfolio of 9 iOS and Android apps. Alongside it — a distributed network of ~1500 iOS devices and ~1000 virtual machines under real load.
2024
Into neural nets
My own AI services: Sixio, Re-Photo, LexPlex, AiB Chat. Not just wiring up other people's models — my own LoRAs, fine-tuning, and generative pipelines in real products.
