AIDA, triumph!

I haven't had much faith in it but I've managed to beat everyone and get the six-fingered AIDA AI Design Fest statue!

The "900 Icons and a Relational Model" project proved quite convincing to the jury. The competition was strong, and the shortlist included interesting and strong projects. My thanks to the jury for their high praise!

I spent a little less than a year developing and managing this project. It doesn't take up a lot of time, but I'm thrilled by how much time and effort my team and I saved using neural networks. The key benefit: we were able to understand the overall scope of work (which is invaluable in itself), and then learned how to manage the delivery of hundreds of icons to hundreds of data nodes. And it's just beautiful.

I couldn't make it to the Fest because, as we all know, I'm either sleeping or working — this time I fell asleep during the ceremony for real. I woke up at 9:30 PM and saw a video on Telegram from Leonid, who attended the fest and saw my representative accepting the award. Thumbs up for the video — it felt like I'd gotten a piece of the festivities and its vibe, which was incredibly nice!

Thanks to the project team who support me and like this weird, boring design that comes from me in the work chat)

And thanks to the client, because it continues to amaze me how such a flexible and proactive team can come together within a corporate structure. Thank you for your trust!
