The story behind itSoftware engineer · Researcher · Builder
Curiosity,
put to
work.
Hi, I’m Baranaba. I build at the intersection of AI, creative work, and human agency. Ideas draw me in. Making them work keeps me there.
Before the code,
there were parts.
I’ve been building things for as long as I can remember. As a kid, that meant simple circuits, little motor-driven robots, and rockets. I wanted to see what I could make move, what would work, and what I could try next.
Our backyard, my room, and the garage became my own little research facility. Getting my hands dirty was part of the appeal: an idea became something I could hold, take apart, change, and test again.
Built by hand.
One of my early rockets, drawn from a photograph in my 2016 archive.
Even the fuel was homemade.
Testing rocket fuel I’d made from scratch, captured in 2017 and reimagined in ink.
Still getting my hands dirty.
Motors, loose components, a multimeter. Tools from my workbench today.
From the archive:
The original photograph behind the illustration.
The original test, in a short, silent recording.
The tools and parts behind the ink study.
Then I found a different
kind of workshop.
At fourteen, I started making simple games with C# and Unity. Software opened up another way to build: whole worlds with their own rules, places you could explore and interact with. Alongside that, I wanted my hardware projects to do more than a motor or a simple circuit could manage. Learning to code gave me a way into programmable circuits, too.
By 2018, I was building games for visually impaired players, using sound to open up a world. Later, a new question took hold: when an AI makes something, where do the people behind it go?
That question became Arttribute, and led into provenance research, autonomous agents, creative collaborations, and classrooms. The materials have changed. I still like finding out what an idea can become by building it.
Questions, made tangible.
A connected body of work.
A few different ways into it.

Arttribute
The home for a connected body of work: private AI, practical education, and a clearer account of how things are made.
The story behind itBehind every output,
there’s a process.
My research starts there.
My master’s thesis explored what we need to know about human–AI creation before we can meaningfully discuss credit, rights, and responsibility. I connected legal and governance questions to the design of a working provenance system.
That work became ProvenanceKit. The relationship runs both ways: research sharpens what I build, and building gives the research something concrete to answer to.

Good questions.
Open laptops. Real people.
I facilitate AI workshops and training for people with different backgrounds, from software teams to educators and everyday professionals.
The goal is practical understanding: try something, inspect the result, and develop the judgment to know where AI belongs in your work.
Workshops & learning with
Moringa School /Tallinn University
A practice shaped by
different worlds.
My path has taken me from computer science at Strathmore University to educational technology in Tallinn, autonomous creative agents at Eden Labs, and a master’s in AI for Sustainable Societies across Estonia, Finland, and Portugal.
Along the way, I’ve worked on health research and spent a lot of time thinking about how people meet technology. Moving between these settings gives me new ways to approach a problem, and real situations to test the ideas against.
