birol.tech is the studio site for Birol (birol-dev): a full-stack developer and creative technologist. It collects live tools, the stack behind them, and a direct contact line.

What kind of work do you take on?

Web apps, custom developer tools, and interactive platforms — plus motion and graphic design when the product needs it. Recent public work includes Skill Extractor, StockFinder AI, a yt-dlp GUI, AutoCrop, and a Manim GUI.

How do I get in touch?

Email hello@birol.tech. That is the fastest path for new projects, collaborations, or questions about the tools on this site.

Where else are you online?

Code lives on GitHub at github.com/birol-dev. Updates also go out on X at x.com/biroldev. You can also connect on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/birol-softa.

Hi, I’mBirolSofta

Computer science student at SWPS University, based in Warsaw.

I build tools that help creators and developers.

Let’s take a look, shall we? Selected work

Skill Extractor

Open, read and copy any skill file from GitHub or skills.sh.

One click, nothing to install.

WebAssembly

StockFinder AI landing page: friends toasting outdoors under the headline “Paste your YouTube script. Get matching Pexels b-roll.”

Have a YouTube idea? Let an agent find the B-roll.

It searches for the most relevant, copyright-free footage and hands it to you.

Electron

yt-dlp GUI desktop app at an angle, showing the audio download screen and terminal output

yt-dlp for creators, with the quality-of-life features it was missing.

Download clips, audio and Twitch VODs. Cut videos, turn them into GIFs, find music, and drag files straight into Premiere or After Effects.

Electron
yt-dlp
FFmpeg

AutoCrop Pro queue with four images ready to crop and export settings

500 images with black or white bars? This app crops them all at once.

Works on videos too.

Tauri
Rust

Manim Composer workspace rendering Euler’s identity next to its Python scene

An IDE made for Manim.

Live progress, and errors that link straight to the line that broke. Templates, a shape builder and a LaTeX sandbox get you started fast; side-by-side compare and a timeline help you polish.

FastAPI
Uvicorn

My skills

Websites & landing pages

Sites that load fast and explain the product in one scroll.

Systems & workflows

The plumbing behind a product: how data moves, and what runs where.

Marketing & motion

Product videos, ads and motion design that show a tool in use.

Desktop & Android apps

Native-feeling tools for creators: local, fast, no terminal.

Graphics & identity

A clear visual system for every product, so the tool looks as good as it works.

Hosting & DevOps

Keeping it all online: servers, certificates and storage.

Websites & landing pages

Landing pages

One page, one job: say what the tool does, show it working, and earn the click.

Every tool on this site has its own
Copy, layout and screenshots made together
Static export, served from the edge

Websites & landing pages

Portfolio & studio sites

Sites like this one: editorial type, motion with a purpose, and all the copy in one typed file.

Scroll-linked motion that respects reduced motion
Content changes without touching components

Websites & landing pages

Web apps

Typed frontends with real data behind them: auth, a database, and the screens around it.

React and Next.js on the front
Supabase or Postgres underneath
Agents wired in where they help

Systems & workflows

System design

Sketch the moving parts before the code: services, queues, storage, and where each one runs.

Diagrams first, so trade-offs are cheap
Pick boring tech where it counts

Systems & workflows

Automations & pipelines

Turn repeated steps into scripts: media pipelines, batch jobs, and agents that do the boring part.

AutoCrop strips the bars from 500 images at once
StockFinder’s agent finds B-roll for a script
ExtendScript inside After Effects

Systems & workflows

CI/CD & deploys

Every push builds, tests and ships itself, with a preview link before anything goes live.

Preview versions before production
One command to roll forward

Marketing & motion

Product videos

Screen recordings cut into short demos, with pacing, zooms and captions that follow the story.

Launch and feature videos
Loops for landing pages

Marketing & motion

Ad creative & UGC

AI UGC ads and campaign cuts, edited for rhythm and finished with texture.

Hooks in the first two seconds
Versions for every placement

Marketing & motion

3D & tracking

Blender 3D tracking, VHS texture and cinematic finishing on top of live footage.

Camera tracking and compositing
Grain, glow and finishing passes

Desktop & Android apps

Desktop apps

Electron and React 19, or Rust and Tauri, wrapped around command-line tools people find hard to use.

yt-dlp GUI and AutoCrop Pro
Everything runs on your machine

Desktop & Android apps

Android

Kotlin and Jetpack Compose apps with the same care as the web ones.

Compose UI, Material motion
Offline first

Desktop & Android apps

Developer tools

IDEs and utilities for a niche, like Manim Composer, which gives Manim a live preview.

Live previews over WebSockets
Built for one job, done well

Graphics & identity

Visual identity

Type, colour and marks for a product, picked to work at icon size and full screen.

Logo, palette and type pairing
A small kit the next page can reuse

Graphics & identity

Campaign assets

Social, store and launch graphics in one consistent look.

Sized for every placement
Templates for the next launch

Graphics & identity

Product visuals

Screenshots and mockups staged so the interface reads at a glance.

Oracle Cloud boxes set up over SSH, with certbot SSL behind a reverse proxy.

Hardened SSH and firewalls
Certificates that renew themselves

Hosting & DevOps

Edge & storage

Static sites on Cloudflare Workers, files in R2 buckets, and databases on Neon.
