Replacing Power Automate with Claude Code
2026 — presentZebra Consulting
AI workflowsWorkflows in 2026, reaping the speed of Claude Code and the robustness of GitHub and Azure (Vercel) — more to come.
Claude Code · CI/CD · Playwright
Control Tower for Logistics
2026Logistics (Zebra Consulting)
AI-created high performance appsA large business application covering air freight from factory to plane: booking, marketplace, driver and terminal roles across 500,000+ orders, with a per-owner data wall enforced in SQL and guarded by an exhaustive test suite. Ten roles, high performance demands, and a full proof chain on every change.
AI Solutions Architect: Design, architecture and delivery with a Claude Code agent team — tests written first, security gates and Playwright video-proof on every PR.

Claude Code agent team monitor
2026 — presentZebra Consulting
AI HarnessBuilt the monitoring and orchestration platform that makes complete hands-free AI-driven development possible in practice. It shows real-time status for all Claude Code agents working in parallel, from Notion task to production deploy, and lets us intervene when needed without sitting in every iteration. Together with proprietary infrastructure for automated tests, code review and continuous delivery, this is the set of AI guard rails you need in 2026 to let agents finish the work autonomously.
AI Solutions Architect: Responsible for design, technical architecture and development — agent orchestration, the hands-free task-to-production pipeline, and the monitor interface itself.

Zebra Sales Agent
2026Zebra Consulting
Agent/MCPA multimodal AI agent application for both sales activity and advanced lead search. The user switches between three modes: deterministic (traditional UI), agent-driven (talk to all connected tools and get answers instantly), and «sofa mode» (proactive alerts when something needs action). One tool that handles everything from structured pipeline work to ad-hoc questions across systems.
AI Solutions Architect: Design, architecture and development, including the multimodal agent pattern and integrations to underlying systems.

Zebra Mission Control
2026 — presentZebra Consulting
Agent/MCPA central platform where all relevant data and internal systems are connected and made available through the same multimodal agent pattern as the Sales Agent: deterministic mode (traditional UI), agent-driven mode (talk to all connected tools and get answers immediately), and «sofa mode» (proactive alerts when something needs action). The goal: give leadership full overview and the ability to act across the whole business from one interface.
AI Solutions Architect: Responsible for design, technical architecture and development, including the data model, system integrations and the multimodal agent pattern.

AI assistants (RAG)A personal no/low-code app on Appfarm.io and Make.com with OpenAI for insight analysis.

Kravia debt-collection platform
2017 — 2024Kravia.ai
Kravia helps companies get paid as fast as possible and set out to partly revolutionize the debt-collection industry. I was headhunted as CTO — initially the only IT person — responsible for getting the whole IT ecosystem going, engaging a dev team in Kyiv and owning everything technical. Later, as senior developer, I built across the ecosystem: Azure Functions for accounting-system integrations (Tripletex, PowerOffice Go), a Vipps payment integration, a Collection API over a legacy Firebird database, many endpoints on the main API, fine-grained authorization, event-driven flows via Event Hubs, and infrastructure automated with Terraform on Docker. Security was tightly regulated by Finanstilsynet — 2FA, Azure Key Vault, CI/CD via Azure DevOps.
CTO (2017–2020): Led the IT side of the startup from two people, engaged and guided the Kyiv dev team, built the first customer web (React/Node/Auth0 on Azure), and reported IT status to the board.
Senior developer (2020–2024): Programmed across the whole ecosystem of integrations and Azure solutions; drove ever-increasing automation and revenue. Active in code review; agile two-week sprints.

Report standardization on Power Platform
2024Fagforbundet

I built the admin app where Fagforbundet manages report templates filled out by their unions, chapters and clubs.
Business Architect: Built the admin app for template management; part of a multi-consultant delivery.
