Peter Bondarenko

I'm a founder, product builder and creative technologist working at the intersection of AI, computer vision, generative media and real-world products.

Currently building:

• 📸 self.space — a privacy-first AI self-portrait studio with automated capture, retouching and private photo delivery
• 🎬 Refsee — AI-powered reference search and creative tools for advertising, film and visual production
• 🧠 Experimental AI products around video understanding, generative media and automation

• AI / ML: Python, PyTorch, OpenCV, computer vision, generative AI
• Backend: Django, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Redis, Celery
• Frontend: JavaScript, Next.js
• Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, GPU inference, edge/on-device AI
• Product: AI product strategy, rapid prototyping, automation and experimentation

I've spent 11+ years combining technology and creative production — from creative direction and advertising to building full-stack AI products.

My earlier work also included AI research in medical imaging / oncology, supported by research grants and academic publications.

Along the way, my creative work has received recognition including Cannes Lions and a Vimeo Staff Pick.
