A Sankey diagram tracing thirty years of Polish political party history, built from Wikipedia election data scraped into Flourish and exported as SVG, then refined in Illustrator and InDesign for print — published in Pismo magazine. Below is how it came together.

When the deadline is yesterday

An interactive scrollytelling piece built with custom JavaScript injected into a CMS that didn’t support it. I added a moving-camera effect to guide readers through a dense network of names and connections across several countries. Named Innovation of the Year in media by Wirtualne Media in 2026.

How I created an ML model to uncover drug-trafficking on Telegram

I scraped 500,000 messages from 1,500 Telegram channels using Telethon and a snowballing method, then built a Doc2Vec classifier trained on 300 manually labeled drug ads to identify advertisements at scale. The investigation showed that Poland’s online drug market runs on Telegram, InPost parcel lockers, and BLIK — the full story is here, and below is how I built it.

KREMLIN LEAKS: how Putin turned the Red Cross into a tool of propaganda and war

As a child, I dreamed of going to the famous Artek camp in Crimea — a legendary summer camp. Vacations there were among the most expensive in Ukraine, and you could only get in for achievements in school or sports. Every kid in my class envied those who got to go — there was a water park, hiking in the mountains, trips to the cinema, even the chance to get a branded backpack. Regular summer camps couldn’t compare.

FIREHOSE OF FALSEHOOD

We mapped a network of pro-Russian and alt-right disinformation sites operating across Central and Eastern Europe. Using network analysis, we showed how these sites cross-reference each other to amplify Russian narratives and spread conspiracy theories in local languages.
