I love making all kinds of creative stuff.

I like to think not only technically, but creatively.

Right now we have the chance to think more creatively than technically, and we have to use it!!!

That’s why I’m drawn to where tech meets creativity: hackathons, my own startup, music. I listen to Askha Prince.

I graduated from the College of Information Technologies in Pavlodar, majoring in Software, and now I study at North Kazakhstan University.

My startup

Prep for Kazakhstan’s national university exam (ENT) on the real textbooks: mock tests built on the official specifications, and after every answer you see the book, page and quote it comes from.

  • DIGITAL ERTIS

    Came up with and started a regional hackathon, then placed fourth in it myself.

Music is a way of thinking for me, same as code.

I listen to Askha Prince. His tracks are nerve, style and taste, and that’s exactly what I want in my own work.

I want to make a feat with Askha Prince.

Not a joke, a goal. Stitched into felt, so it’s serious.
