Ask Me Anonymous is a full-stack AI-powered anonymous messaging platform where users can create a profile, share a unique link, and receive anonymous messages. The platform integrates AI to suggest messages, rewrite messages in different tones, and automatically detect and filter abusive or inappropriate content. It also includes secure authentication, profile and message management, a personalized dashboard, and a fully responsive modern interface. I built the complete experience across the frontend, backend, database, and AI integrations.

From 125 to 132, growing, slowly but gradually and I also (finally), landed my first project here on Contra after 7 months. YAY!
Gotta keep hustling!
im also grinding for that, congrats to you
Most of my collages are built from dozens of images that I source and combine in Photoshop. But sometimes the exact element I have in mind simply doesn't exist, or I can't find the right angle, lighting, or composition.
That's where AI comes in.
For this piece, I used Envato's AI Image Generator to create a custom starting point when I couldn't find the image I needed. I then combined it with assets from Envato Elements, using Photoshop to composite everything together, refine the lighting, color grade the scene, and create the final artwork.
Once the collage was complete, I used Envato's AI Video Generator to bring it to life with subtle movement, then finished the animation in Premiere Pro using additional Envato Elements assets.
For me, AI isn't about pressing a button and calling it art. It's another creative tool—one that helps me bridge the gap between the idea in my head and the final artwork.
Really great walkthrough. Nice work! Love lighting in the final output.
From AI Slop to Autonomous Pipeline: Drilling for Data with Base44 & Envato 🛢️⚡
The Backstory: The Panic & The Concept
I spend my days building raw, headless, zero-touch B2B data pipelines. But recently, a high-ticket client asked the one question that terrifies every backend builder: "Can I see your portfolio?" I didn't have one. I had 48 hours to prove I wasn't just talking.
I spun up Base44. It generated a structural layout in seconds, which was sick, but the content? Absolute corporate AI slop. Fake statistics, soulless design, empty words. It was a dead skeleton. I needed to override the AI and give it a heartbeat, which led me to the core theme of this project: Drilling.
I grew up in Moreni, Romania—the 3rd place on Earth to extract oil back in 1929. My great-grandparents literally drilled the earth for raw fuel. Today? I drill the modern web for unstructured data. So, I turned the Base44 template into a digital drilling rig. As you scroll down the depth gauge (from 0m to 1420m), you dive deeper into my real, live architectures.
The Envato Glow-Up: Injecting the Soul
A cool metaphor is nothing without the right aesthetic. I wanted the site and the video to feel like a high-tension tech thriller. I hit Envato Elements to completely override the AI's generic look:
The Visuals: I ripped out the plain background and injected a dark, industrial grainy texture via CSS to give it that gritty, underground feel. I swapped the AI placeholders with my actual live work: geospatial heatmaps, running Make.com webhooks, and my NLP LLM-as-a-Judge Streamlit app.
The Sound Design (SFX): I wanted the viewer to feel the pressure. I used Envato for the dark cinematic synthwave track, heavy sub-boom drops for the panic moments, digital error buzzers when the AI failed, and rapid-fire UI clicks.
The Voice: I used a cinematic AI voice generator to narrate the exact moment my ancestors' history connected with my modern tech stack.
The Video: Learning DaVinci Resolve in 5 Hours
Here’s the craziest part of this submission: I didn’t know how to edit videos before this weekend. I wanted the pitch video to be as dynamic as my code, so I literally learned DaVinci Resolve from absolute zero in 5 hours just for this challenge. I built a 4-way split-screen grid and edited a rapid-fire "ladder" sequence of me downloading Envato assets, synced perfectly to mechanical keyboard clicks every 0.2 seconds. It’s raw, fast, and shows exactly how I operate.
The Result
I didn't just build a pretty template. I built a fully functional B2B infrastructure. The contact form at the bottom of the site is hardwired via webhooks straight into my Make.com pipelines.
AI gave me the speed and the skeleton. Envato gave it the aesthetic and the soul. My ancestors drilled for oil. I automate the future.
