The move from Moscow, three years of Fridays on the beach and the ecosystem that grew out of them. Marketing, community and AI agents.
About me
Digital marketer, founder of IT Party Pattaya
From Moscow to Pattaya — and from “I want my own people nearby” to an ecosystem for expats
Born and bred in Moscow and a lawyer by training — international law — yet he built his whole career in marketing: he started as a PPC specialist at agencies, rose to head of a marketing department and marketing director at digital companies, and built marketing teams from scratch.
He had liked Thailand for a long time — the climate, the atmosphere, the feeling of ease. When the events market he worked with ground to a halt in the pandemic, there was first a year in Sochi, then a move to Pattaya around 2022 and remote work as a marketer for a Novosibirsk crypto-analytics start-up.
IT Party grew out of a simple wish to gather his own people around him: fellow incomers in IT and business he could actually talk to. On 22 July 2023 the “IT Meetups Pattaya” chat appeared, and six days later the first party on Yinyom Beach. Then came two years of beach Fridays, the exchange, transfers, mafia, D&D, meetups and a neighbourhood chat in Bang Saray, where he now lives with his family.
Today he works on what he writes about in the channel: AI agents, vibe coding, positioning and promoting projects. He is building a personal AI agent and HR24 Copilot — an interview-analysis service for recruiters. He set the community's main rule long ago and has never changed it: don't get in other people's way and keep it respectful.

AI agents, vibe coding, HR24 Copilot
Guides to Hermes Agent and prompt engineering in the channel, a personal AI agent, HR24 Copilot — transcription and HR analysis of interviews for recruiting.
My pet projects
Tools, agents and services I build out of curiosity about problems, people and new formats.
Hermes Agent
An AI agent built on Hermes that brings tasks, schedule, working files and knowledge into one calm system. It helps draft documents, sort the inbox, keep track of recurring chores and flag important things in time.
Hermes Cron
A skill for the Hermes AI agent: it safely creates reminders, recurring tasks, digests and watchdog checks without being tied to a particular project or server.
Hermes Dreaming
A skill for the Hermes AI agent that tidies up its memory overnight. It cross-checks real conversations, looks for stable facts and conflicts, filters out secrets and passes on for human review only the updates genuinely worth keeping.
Hermes Dashboard
A skill for the Hermes AI agent with an HTML panel that shows what is going on inside Hermes Agent: host health, security, model routing, request costs, memory and the economics of cron jobs. The numbers come from telemetry, not manual entry.
TrueDev Workflow
A skill for an AI agent, made for tasks that easily sprawl into hours and dozens of files. It turns development into a sequence of clear stages, blocks risky actions until they are confirmed and won't let anyone call the work done until it has been checked.
Book Distill
A skill for an AI agent that turns a book, course or transcript into a set of small, callable AI skills rather than long notes. Every method is tested for repeatability, usefulness and real-world applicability.
Mafia Game Review
A skill for an AI agent that reviews a game of Mafia from two transcripts and the host's sheet. It checks the facts, rebuilds the timeline, asks questions where data is missing, calculates the scores and puts together material ready to publish.
Field Notes
A skill for an AI agent with a system of engineering notes that keeps not just solutions but reproducible checks and pitfalls. That way, what one project taught you comes back in the next task as a working hint instead of getting lost in chat history.
Teleprompter
A lightweight teleprompter for talks: prepare the text in advance, open it in the browser and use it while recording or live on air.
Services for recruiters
Services that turn an interview into useful working material for a recruiter: they transcribe the conversation, pick out the signals, help compare candidates and keep important details from slipping. A working example is HR24 Copilot.
Transfer booking system
A booking system of my own for transfer seats: choose the route, date and number of passengers, send the request, and the trip goes through a clear workflow.
City Mafia League
A proper club league with player ratings, game history and accumulated stats. A single game becomes part of a long sporting story, and players get a clear reason to keep coming back. Site in Russian.
