Ivan Kudrenko · BA · apps, devices, and product ideas

I build products I wish existed — and I want them to feel clear, personal, and real.

I started thinking about devices and interfaces when I was a kid. I came up with the name BA when I was 8. Now I am turning that same curiosity into projects like ActiView, BlinkClip, and the public work around them.

Started early Technology, devices, and product ideas have been part of my world since childhood.

The name I created at age 8, now becoming the identity behind the products I want to build.

What this site is A founder story, a product portfolio, and the start of BA.

I care about technology because the best products feel calm, useful, and deeply intentional.

I am Ivan Kudrenko. I have been interested in devices, apps, interfaces, and future technology since early childhood. I was never only interested in using technology. I kept thinking about how it could feel better, look better, and solve the right problem in a more thoughtful way.

That is why BA matters to me. I came up with the name when I was 8, and it stayed with me because it felt like the right home for the products I wanted to build over time. Today, I am shaping that direction through real work: ActiView, BlinkClip, design thinking, hardware experiments, and public creative work.

I studied in Ukraine at a Waldorf school, where creativity and independent thinking were taken seriously. Later, at Andrews Osborne Academy, I kept developing my direction in a broader academic environment.

What I build

Products that feel useful first

I am most interested in products that solve a real problem, stay practical, and still feel beautifully considered in the details.

Why BA matters

One identity behind many projects

BA connects my product ideas, design direction, hardware experiments, and the longer story I want to build over time.

Why this site exists

To show the real work, not only polished claims

I want this website to make it clear who I am, what I am building now, and what kind of technology I care about building next.

The shortest version of my story is simple: I started early, and I never really stopped building toward BA.

  1. 01
    Early childhood

    Curiosity came before any plan

    I started being interested in technology, devices, and creating things from a very young age.

  2. 02
    Age 8

    BA appeared early and stayed

    I came up with the name BA when I was 8. It started as an idea, and later became the identity for the products I want to build long term.

  3. 03
    Ukraine

    Waldorf school shaped the way I think

    Creativity, imagination, and independent thought were a real part of learning there, and that stayed with me.

    Andrews Osborne Academy

    The direction became clearer

    I kept developing my ideas, projects, and product interests in a broader academic environment.

  5. 05
    Current work

    ActiView, BlinkClip, BA, and public sharing

    Right now I am building projects like ActiView and BlinkClip, growing BA, and sharing the process publicly through YouTube.

    Future goal

    Build products that feel lasting

    My goal is to create real products that combine software, hardware, design, and practical everyday usefulness.

The work sits at the intersection of product taste, interface design, and real experiments.

Product Thinking

I like building around a real problem first, then shaping the product so it feels focused and believable.

UI / UX Design

I care about interfaces that feel clear, calm, and considered instead of busy or overdesigned.

App Ideas & Prototyping

I move ideas into interfaces, flows, and working directions quickly so they can be tested instead of just discussed.

Hardware Experiments

I enjoy turning product ideas into real physical tests, especially when software and hardware need to work together.

Video & Media Tools

BlinkClip comes from noticing how much repeated media work could feel cleaner, faster, and less annoying.

Future Technology

I am interested in products that feel slightly ahead of their time, but still grounded enough to become real.

The tools behind the current work.

These are the projects and platforms carrying my ideas right now.

ActiView

ActiView is my phone-connected smart display direction for kayaking, biking, travel, and active use. It is where BA becomes a real physical product story.

Prototype

This is the clearest example of how I want software, hardware, and product design to come together.

BlinkClip

BlinkClip is the macOS utility I am building to make repeat video tasks feel faster, cleaner, and less manual.

In development

BlinkClip comes from the same instinct behind many of my ideas: small repeated frustrations should not stay frustrating.

Shadow Box

Shadow Box is a minimalist browser puzzle-platformer about light, shadow, and using the shadow to collect stars.

The player reaches the door, but the shadow does the collecting. The closer you move to the light, the longer the shadow becomes.

BA

BA is the long-term identity behind the products I want to build. It started when I was 8, and it now connects my work instead of sitting in the background.

YouTube Channel

My YouTube work is where I share ideas, experiments, reviews, and the process behind what I am building.

Ongoing

I do not want the work to stay private until it looks perfect. I want people to see how ideas become something real.

"I do not just want to admire great products. I want to build them."

My goal is to build technology that feels simple on the surface, thoughtful underneath, and honest about what it actually is. That is the standard I want BA and my future products to grow into.
