KikuAI
My product lab: a place to turn ideas into working software, test their usefulness and technical shape, and decide which products are ready for commercial production.
Nick Dudnichenko / Software & Product Engineer
I build software across the stack and automate the work that should not stay manual.
My work spans backend, automation, native apps, browser tools, games, and product design. I combine hands-on engineering with product judgment.

A broad engineering profile, with automation at the center
Practical automation
I remove repetitive manual steps with Python, TypeScript, structured processing, API integrations, and AI assistance where it improves the result.
Backend and API systems
Native and interactive software
Product design and technical media
I work on interfaces, product presentation, visual systems, documentation, and media tools when they are part of delivering the product clearly.
