About myself

I am an entrepreneur, co-owner of the school of relevant professions TEHNIKUM school, head of the IT direction TEHNIKUM Coding.

I don't have a strict schedule, but usually five days a week I develop my projects from 11:00 to 17:00. After 17:00 — I give lectures on programming, this is for me as a hobby that brings pleasure.

Where and how I learn

I am constantly learning and enjoying this process. I listen to podcasts of entrepreneurs, write down insights, buy consultations from experts to adopt their experience and approaches. I read business literature, communicate in professional communities — all this helps me grow and really improves my quality of life.

If you want to understand how to become an entrepreneur in Uzbekistan, I can recommend the podcast of my partner Dmitry Seredin on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@seredin4088), where entrepreneurs from the CIS openly discuss their successes and failures.

I don't particularly like master classes and trainings. If a problem arises, I prefer to gather familiar entrepreneurs for brainstorming or simply buy a consultation from a specialist to quickly solve the issue. I attend such events only when necessary, or if it is important for me to meet the person conducting the master class. Usually, these are business breakfasts, or cases when the organizers are my close friends, and I want to support them. As for educational goals, they are less relevant for me, as it is easier to get a consultation on a specific business request. A specialist directly addressing you will give a fairly detailed answer, and after the consultation, you can already move on to developing the project.

Environment

My best friend is a psychotherapist, and I receive free consultations from him.

It seems that there are many different communities. In fact, we have problems with this. When you talk to representatives of the community, it becomes clear that the problem really exists. For example, in my region, this problem is not solved at all — I don't have a single person with whom I could communicate.

When you work somewhere, you inevitably miss something. First of all, a community forms within the company. And if you change jobs, you already have two circles of communication.

Where I spend my free time

In my free time, I prefer to go far away from the city, choosing places with beautiful landscapes, for example, mountains. I can go to Europe, just get out of the country, or go to other cities, fly, for example, to Kazakhstan. I love to fly.

My hobbies are programming and finance.

Where to buy what

I am a fan of Apple technology. Recently, I bought Apple products and "Yandex.Station".

I buy everything else from Apple online.
