I am a lawyer by training. Grew up in Kazakhstan, of Uyghur heritage. Currently I live in Berlin and work at Grains Education.
Building real and imaginary things is my type of fun. Whether SaaS, bulletproof vests or schools, the value to others is the priority.
Due to my work as a venture developer around Europe and Middle East, in my free time I consult persons and teams on product launch strategies, fundraising for NGOs, B2G work, defense industry, education, marketing & PR.
Social impact gave my life a sense of meaning.
