Hey, I'm Seva.

I'm an engineer who believes the real work starts after you've made something exist. The real work is making it not suck.

I build tools that shrink the distance between a good idea and a working result. Sometimes "not sucking" requires a year of evenings decompiling a game executable for perfect accuracy. Other times, it’s a 3KB tool that solves a problem and gets out of the way.

The art is knowing which is which.

Personal public things I've shipped

Noitool started as a personal quest for the perfect seed in the game Noita. It's now a tool serving 50,000 monthly sessions with distributed browser-based compute, live game tracking via OCR, and 100% seed accuracy—because when correctness is the entire point, "almost right" is completely wrong.

MixBot runs music mixing competitions on Telegram. It handles submissions, voting, and archives, automating the administrative drudgery so I can focus on the craft and actually compete myself.

timelink.cc solves global timezone confusion in 3KB of HTML, loading in a single TCP round trip. It's the kind of zero-bloat simplicity that makes you wonder why everything else has to be so complicated.

More in the pipeline: one to rethink how we explore AI's latent spaces, another to attack a broken service market with better tech. They'll ship when they're ready.

I also write about stuff. It's over here.
