Fotogram

Photo sharing app built around an AI model. I built the server, the API, the mobile app and the model on my own.

( 01 )The problem

The founder had spent two years believing his idea could not be built. It was a photo sharing app whose main feature depended on a custom AI model, and he had no team and no backend.

( 02 )What I did

Build

  • The server and the API, from scratch.
  • The mobile app in Flutter.
  • The core AI model behind the product, which is still running today.

Product

  • I worked with the designer, Bekkhan, to turn the concept into something people could actually use.

( 04 )The hard parts

  • Building every layer alone. Infrastructure, API, app and model all had to move forward together.
  • An AI feature that stays reliable. There was no data team behind it.

( 05 )The outcome

Here is what Evgeni wrote afterwards. “I’m still blown away that Amir single-handedly built the entire foundation: the server, the API, the mobile app, and even the core AI model that’s still running flawlessly.”

( What the client said )
“I spent two years thinking this complex idea was impossible to build. Amir and Bekkhan (designer) proved me wrong, with their belief, anything is possible! I'm still blown away that Amir single-handedly built the entire foundation: the server, the API, the mobile app, and even the core AI model that's still running flawlessly. Thank you for making this technical miracle a reality.”
