About Me

👋 Hey! I'm Christina, but you might know me as Kristyna in the business world. I'm the founder of SAMMI, the developer of Deck Hopper, and the creator of several SAMMI extensions.

You can check out my portfolio at kristyna.dev.

So, what's SAMMI?

SAMMI is a super-smart streaming assistant that helps you create custom buttons to control OBS, Twitch, YouTube, Kick, and more!

It includes tons of commands, integrations, and community-created extensions. Think of it like a visual programming language for streamers, and the best part? It’s 100% free!

I'm so proud of SAMMI, and I'm excited to share it with you.

🔧 My Journey

It all started in 2020 with Lioranboard 1, where I quickly learned the app and began my coding journey, releasing several custom extensions. I also contributed to Bridge (then called Transmitter) and helped launch the first documentation website.

By the end of 2021, Lioranboard 2 came out. I developed a new version of Bridge and launched a new documentation website that allowed everyone to contribute. Plus, I created even more extensions!

My proudest moment was getting Google approval for YouTube Live integration, first as a standalone extension for LioranBoard 1, then as a built-in feature for LioranBoard 2.

During this time, I switched careers, moving from a boring job to a full-time engineer. It’s been a rewarding journey, and I’m so thankful to have discovered my passion for coding and tech through SAMMI.

In mid-2022, LioranBoard 2 was rebranded as SAMMI, and I became the lead developer alongside our amazing founder team. We revamped the app with new features, bug fixes, and made it more user-friendly.

I learned even more coding, including GameMaker and C#, while developing SAMMI Core, maintaining SAMMI Bridge, Updater, and the SAMMI website, and creating a bunch of extensions. One of my biggest accomplishments is Deck Hopper, an Android app that interacts with SAMMI buttons.

Over two years of hard work, I’ve squashed bugs, added new features, and spent countless sleepless nights. While I stopped active development on SAMMI in April 2024 to focus on personal projects and extensions, I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved!

Right now, I’m focusing on Deck Hopper, my extensions, commissions, and working full-time as a support engineer for an e-commerce platform.
