Dedicated video
A full build with your product at the center. I use it for real, on camera, and show the honest result.
Senior engineer · Creator · Dubai, UAE
A one-person media company for people who build. I test AI tools, side-project ideas and faster ways to ship, then tell you what's actually worth your time.

01 — The story
Most tech channels review tools. I build with them, ship something real, and show you the parts that broke.
Interactive. Try typing a command.
Chapter 01 · The engineer
React, Next.js and TypeScript, mostly. I've built UI kits from scratch: date pickers, drawers, toasts, the components a whole product quietly depends on. That's where I learned that details are the product.
Chapter 02 · The base
I live and work in Dubai. I get to watch the regional startup scene up close and see how teams here are actually putting AI to work, not just talking about it.
Chapter 03 · The channel
In 2024 I started MaksDevInsights. The rule: only show what I've built and tested myself. Open-source e-commerce stores, 3D browser games, an AI receptionist that books real appointments, an AI second brain.
Chapter 04 · The builder
Reviewing tools is half the job. The other half is building with them. Right now that's Yieldlens, an AI analytics tool for Dubai real-estate investors, built with the same stack I cover on the channel.

No hype, no fake launches. Just a senior dev telling you what he'd actually use.

Long-form builds and honest tool tests. I build the thing, show what broke, and tell you if I'd keep using it.

Brand collaborations for developer tools, AI products and anything people use to build software. Your product shows up inside something I'm actually making, so viewers see it working, not a read-out ad.
Who watches
A full build with your product at the center. I use it for real, on camera, and show the honest result.
A 60–90 second segment inside a long-form video, where your tool is part of the build instead of a read-out ad.
