I have been building toward BA since I was a kid.

I am Ivan Kudrenko. I care about technology because the best products feel personal, useful, and beautifully intentional when they are built with real care.

Founder story BA since age 8 Ukraine and Andrews Osborne Academy

This is the fuller version of the story behind my products, my brand, and why I am building in the first place.

What has always been there

Devices, interfaces, and future products

I have been drawn to technology since early childhood, especially the feeling that a product could be reimagined into something clearer and more useful.

What BA means to me

One name behind a long direction

BA is not just a label. It is the identity I want behind the software, hardware, and future devices I keep imagining and now keep building toward.

What I care about now

Real work over distant product fantasy

I want the things I build to move from idea to prototype to believable product, even if that happens gradually.

The through-line has stayed surprisingly consistent: curiosity first, product direction second, BA always in the background.

  1. 01
    Early childhood

    I started with fascination, not with a plan

    I was interested in technology, devices, and how products were designed from a young age. I kept imagining better versions of things instead of only admiring what already existed.

  2. 02
    Age 8

    BA appeared early and never really left

    I came up with the name BA when I was 8. At the time it was just a name that felt right, but over time it became the clearest identity for the kind of products I wanted to build.

  3. 03
    Ukraine

    Waldorf school reinforced creativity and independence

    Studying in Ukraine at a Waldorf school shaped the way I think. Creativity, imagination, and independent thought were treated as important parts of learning, not extras.

  4. 04
    Andrews Osborne Academy

    My direction became more focused

    Later, at Andrews Osborne Academy, I kept developing my ideas, projects, and sense of direction in a broader academic environment.

    Current work

    ActiView, BlinkClip, BA, and public sharing

    Right now I am building projects like ActiView and BlinkClip, shaping BA into a clearer product identity, and using public work to make the process visible.

  6. 06
    Long-term goal

    I want to build products that feel lasting

    My goal is to create products that combine software, hardware, design, and real everyday usefulness in a way that feels calm, sharp, and thoughtful.

I am less interested in sounding futuristic than in building technology that actually deserves attention.

Product taste

I want products to feel calm, useful, and intentional.

I am drawn to technology that feels clear instead of noisy. I like products that solve a real problem, respect the user, and make the details feel intentional.

Why BA fits me

It gives the work one coherent home

BA helps me connect product ideas, software, hardware, design direction, and the broader founder story instead of treating each piece like a separate world.

How I prefer to build

Prototype first, sharpen after

I trust real experiments more than polished claims, so I would rather show development honestly than pretend everything is already complete.

"I do not want to only admire great technology. I want to build it."

That is the simplest way to describe what keeps pulling me back to product work. I care about what technology can become when it is built with enough clarity and enough care.

The story matters most when it leads into real work, and that is where ActiView, BlinkClip, BA, and the public side of the site come in.
