My story

From the moment I wrote my first computer program, I knew I wanted to build things that matter. Growing up in Uzbekistan, I didn't always have access to advanced learning resources — but that challenge fueled my determination to learn on my own.

Through online courses, hands-on practice, and countless hours of trying and failing, I taught myself how to create software and websites — learning not just the technical side, but how to think through problems carefully and creatively.

Technology is most powerful when it empowers people. — Something I learned from teaching

I've become deeply interested in digital security — protecting the systems and data that people rely on every day. My goal is to contribute to open-source projects, security research, and help bring better technology education to developing regions.
