About
A bit about me
I'm a high school student from Atyrau, Kazakhstan, with a growing focus on computer science, artificial intelligence, engineering and applied technology. What draws me in isn't code for its own sake — it's how software, algorithms and good engineering can actually solve problems that matter.
Environmental responsibility is something I care about personally, from animal welfare to how cities manage the ecological side of everyday life. That interest eventually turned into QOSYU, a project applying logistics optimization to recyclable waste collection.
Alongside that, I compete in informatics olympiads, take part in scientific research, hackathons, debate tournaments and Model United Nations conferences. I've led student teams, volunteered on community initiatives, and built technology projects together with other students.
Away from screens, I train in martial arts — I'm a regional champion in Kyokushin Karate and also grapple in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I'm a music school graduate too, and still play piano and guitar when I get the chance.
