About Me

Building the bridge between
AI & great UX

I am a Frontend Team Lead and hands-on product builder based in Astana, with 5+ years of product engineering experience. I combine product judgment with the engineering work required to ship.

Tripmaxx is my personally shipped App Store product. BENI, REDTEU, and ÖZGER are team efforts across product packaging, production delivery, and commercial testing.

I keep a clear line between what is working, what has launched, and where repeatable distribution is still being discovered.

Ongoing

Product Building

Self-directed practice

Building and shipping products across consumer experiences, operational services, and distribution experiments.

Evidence

What this work is really about

Delivery

I optimize for throughput that still feels deliberate.

Speed matters only when architecture, review quality, and product clarity survive it.

Ownership

Tripmaxx proves I can own the path through a public release.

The product is live on the App Store and continues to receive updates.

Leadership

I make systems calmer for the people shipping them.

That means cleaner decisions, clearer interfaces, better decomposition, and less operational chaos.

Fit

My best environment is ambitious product work with real complexity and real stakes.

Consumer products, operational services, and teams that care about execution quality.
