About Me
I spent years running factories and leading construction projects. Somewhere along the way, I realized I didn't just want to optimize things. I wanted to create them.
So here I am. Building apps, learning in public, and enjoying every step of the journey.
In My Own Words
The most interesting people are the ones who can't be described in one sentence. I'm a chemical engineer, a former CEO, someone who speaks six languages and has led teams of hundreds. But what I'm most proud of is that I never stopped being curious. That curiosity brought me from factory floors to code editors, and honestly, both feel like home.
Languages I Speak
Six languages, six ways of seeing the world
Every language I learned changed how I think. Uzbek is where I feel at home, Tajik connects me to the neighborhood where I grew up, Russian is where I grew up professionally, Turkish bridged cultures, English opened the world, and French taught me patience.
Where I Come From
A decade of building real things
Before I went digital, I was building factories, running supply chains, and leading multinational teams. That background didn't go away. It became the foundation. I still think in systems, I still look for waste, and I still believe that the simplest solution is usually the right one.
My Story
The long way around to where I was always going.
Where curiosity meets chemistry
Studied chemical engineering in Tashkent. Got my first job at 22, managing 42 engineers at a tire plant built from the ground up, working alongside teams from China and Uzbekistan.
The beginning is never about knowing. It's about being willing to not know.
When the city is your canvas
At 26, helped reshape the capital with infrastructure for Tashkent City. Energy, roads, a central park. Eighty hectares, eight investment lots, countless competing priorities.
Simplicity isn't the absence of complexity. It's the other side of it.
The most expensive word I ever heard
At a tobacco factory, kept hearing "that's within acceptable limits." I asked why. Eliminated what others had normalized, and the approach became the regional standard.
"Acceptable" is often just another word for "we stopped looking."
There was no road, so we made one
A cement plant in Jizakh. No infrastructure, no team, just a plan and a deadline. Built a full construction campus in sixty days. Led five hundred people from three countries.
Creation is the most human impulse there is. Everything else is just logistics.
Selling what the world doesn't know it needs
Introduced world-class drainage and erosion control to a market that hadn't asked for it. Walked into rooms and convinced people they had a problem worth solving.
The hardest thing to sell is the solution to a problem people don't know they have.
The view from the top
As General Director of an agrochemical company I ran manufacturing, sales, supply chain, and strategy. Expanded into new regions and unified disconnected systems.
Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is leave the summit to find your own mountain.
Writing my own story
Took everything I learned about people, systems, and building from nothing and pointed it at a blank screen. First app Esoterea is live. More are taking shape.
This chapter doesn't have an ending yet. That's the best part.
