Portfolio
Hey there! My name is Stas; I am a content lead and advisor based in Budapest, Hungary.
Here you will find a list of all my project since the start of my professional career.
For any inquiries please reach out in Instagram, in Telegram, or via e-mail.
I am now open to new career opportunities as well as projects. I am interested in anything digital-based, which is tied to the content, such as:
Launching a brand media as an editor-in-chief.
Creating a content strategy for your business.
Understanding the weak points of an editorial and turning them into advantages.
My career — short version:
- Eight years as an editor. It is my main specialization. I write all kinds of stuff: UI texts, long articles, short social media publications, professional texts, and not-so-professional texts. I can take any complex and non-trivial explanation into a concise one-pager.
- Four years of experience in video production: both in PR and media. I can do everything in the field: find opinion leaders, organize photoshoots and awards, advise on making content better and more targeted, and do it all by hand.
- Three years of public communication experience: in telecom and e-commerce. «Public communication», in plain words, is deciding how we announce things, whether we speak of them at all, and how we manage negative feedback in the community.
- Three years of sound design. I did many podcasts by hand. This means I am familiar with digital audio workstations, voice processing, and publishing your songs and podcast all over the web.
- Four years photographing. This is more of a hobby because I have never been hired to photograph commercially, but it is an important part of my life. I prefer street and reportage photography.

Tinkoff Data, February 2021 — July 2021
I did market research for one of Russia’s largest banks — Tinkoff.
