About

I'm Kalina. I ship things that keep working after I leave the room.

I'm Polish, based in Asia for the last seven years. I've built and led teams as an expat across India and Vietnam. That taught me to run projects with people who don't share my language, timezone, or assumptions, and ship anyway. Listen first. Understand the business before the tech.

Results, and how I got them

Three things I'm proud of.

3 → 30+

Built the first Spryker ecommerce team in Vietnam and grew it from 3 to 30+ certified engineers, by writing the training and certification path myself.

Idea → launch

Took a conversational AI product from idea to launch as its product manager, before "AI agent" was a slide phrase.

2,326 in month one

Built the BeFit AI front desk that handled 2,326 member inquiries in a month, resolved 76% with no staff, saved ~150 staff hours, and caught 350+ after-hours conversations.

Before all that: project and delivery management at Atos and Nordea in Poland, then enterprise ecommerce across three countries. The lesson that stuck is simple. A nice demo means nothing if it doesn't run in production. That's why Promptive ships working systems, not decks.

Now

A company of one, on purpose.

Today I build AI front desks and automation for clinics and fitness businesses, and run Claude Cowork training for solopreneurs and small teams. Small means small: under 10 people.

I run Promptive solo. No team, no assistant. So everything I teach is a workflow I actually use to keep a one-person company moving, not theory. And because I spent years inside big companies, I know which structure is worth keeping and which bloat to leave behind.

How I work

No overselling AI. If a spreadsheet solves it, I'll say so.

Every build tied to a number. Time saved, cost cut, or revenue captured. If it isn't measurable, it isn't done.

Honesty before invoices. I'll say when something won't work, before you pay.
