Experience

Automatic experimentation and improvement

I'm building Experiwall , a tool that checks your website daily for SEO gaps, accessibility issues, performance problems, and AI visibility. Every morning you get a report with prioritized fixes so you know where to look, what to fix, and what to improve.

Creator of Animo

After working on many public experiments with new developments in LLM technologies, I launched Animo , a desktop program that allows users to generate animation videos from text. Later that year, it was featured in a paper as one of the applications launched with GPT-4. We also develop benchmarks and conduct research on text-to-animation generation.
