i was first introduced to the world of computers when i was 5 years old by my parents, mainly my father. i observed my parents being very interested in learning new technologies. i had an unfair advantage: my father replaced his phone with a new model every month or two.

my interest in programming and creating things came to me from early age. during my school days, i created websites using php in my chemistry classes. i still remember that geometry web app i first made when i was in 7th grade. i was so proud of it.

after school, i decided to create an edtech startup together with my co-founders khabibullo and azizbek. we have reached over 5000 students and many teachers in no-time. we also won a $5,000 scholarship for 1st place from undp among 100+ startups.
