<h3>Quip is an AI-powered tool that transforms long videos into short, engaging vertical clips, providing insights into why each clip is likely to perform well. It goes beyond simple clipping by offering an explainable AI approach, complete with a hook, a confidence score, and a clear rationale for each clip's effectiveness.</h3>

<li>Advanced Reframing: Features like active-speaker detection ensure the right face is centered, and frame-accurate scene detection prevents jarring cuts.</li>
<li>Customizable Captions: Captions are burned in pixel-for-pixel, with the active word highlighted, and previews accurately reflect the final export.</li>
<li>Multi-Platform Support: Export clips in various aspect ratios (9:16, 1:1, 4:5, 16:9) to suit different social media platforms.</li>

Quip: Know why your clips are worth posting

Quip turns any long-form video - podcast, interview, webinar, livestream - into a batch of ready-to-post vertical clips (9:16).Upload once. Quip transcribes it, then an LLM finds the strongest moments - cutting on meaning, not a fixed timer, so clips never end mid-sentence. Every clip ships with:- a burned-in hook headline- a confidence score- a plain-English reason it'll land- word-by-word animated captions (8 style presets, karaoke fill, keyword highlight)- automatic 9:16 reframing that tracks whoever's speaking - no jarring "flash" on cutsOn top of the clips, Quip builds a Video Map - a connected narrative of the whole source with chapters and color-coded moments (tension / quote / insight / funny), so you understand the video, not just the 10 clips it spat out.There's a real in-browser editor behind it: drag-and-snap captions/hooks, an AI chat agent you talk to in plain language ("make this clip longer", "change the hook"), instant clip switching, reusable style templates.It also properly supports Russian and Kazakh (Cyrillic + ә ғ қ ң ө ұ ү һ) - letters most Western clippers render as broken boxes. That's not a footnote, that's most of Central Asia and the CIS that no other clipper serves.Free to try (2 videos/mo, full 1080p, watermarked). Paid from $15/mo - 1 credit = 1 video, no token-casino pricing.Live in production, real users, real payments.

Kwillo — AI for Dev Teams

-   Created a full-featured blog platform with a REST API backend and an Aiogram 3 bot as the client. -   Implemented a real-time "like" system. -   Wrote a comprehensive E2E test suite using Pytest, covering all API endpoints and business logic. -   Configured a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions to automate testing on every commit.

FastAPI Blog Platform with Telegram Bot

-   Developed a high-performance URL shortener using a hybrid storage architecture. -   Leveraged Redis as the primary data store for redirects to ensure microsecond latency and used PostgreSQL as the source of truth. -   Implemented a background job with APScheduler to synchronize click counts from Redis to PostgreSQL. -   Built a secure authentication system using JWT tokens and the OAuth2 standard.

Link Simplifier

-   Engineered a microservice-based system with a FastAPI backend and an asynchronous worker for parsing job vacancies. -   Implemented RabbitMQ as a message broker for reliable, decoupled communication between services. -   Utilized Redis for caching user data, significantly improving API response times. -   Containerized the entire stack (API, worker, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ) using Docker and Docker Compose.
