Experimenter,
Karen Vartapetov

I build systems that give people their time back.

Then I spend mine making games.

Automate your WordPress Get in touch

Efficiency, without the grind.

At some point I realized that time is the one resource you can’t get back. But the answer isn’t squeezing more work into every hour. I automate routine tasks — at work and at home — so there’s room left for family, for rest, and for making things I care about. That’s the only kind of efficiency I believe in.

Let's talk

I learn by experimenting.

I take a real problem from my own life — managing finances, planning meals, keeping a shopping list — and try to solve it with AI and automation. Then I write about what actually worked, what didn’t, and why. No hype, just notes from real experiments.

Shorter notes and updates go to LinkedIn:

What I Do

Build. Test. Share.

Experiments with AI & Automation

I test AI tools and automations on real everyday problems: email, documents, personal finances, finding information. Each experiment ends with an honest write-up — the setup, the results and the limits. If a workflow saves time for me, there’s a good chance it’ll save time for you.
Game Development

I make story-driven games — design, code, and more and more of the art and music myself. I’m drawn to games where systems and story work together. I share the process openly: what works, what breaks, and what I learn about game design along the way.
WordPress & Web Development

Over 12 years of WordPress and front-end development. Today I build tools and plugins that simplify everyday workflows, using AI coding agents to move faster without cutting corners. I take on occasional projects when the fit is right.

WordPress Automation

I find the manual, repetitive work in your content workflows and in data that moves by hand — between your site, spreadsheets, forms, CRMs and messengers — and automate it.
