Gap year. Building.
I grew up in Karakalpakstan - the region most affected by the Aral Sea disaster. The dried lakebed generates toxic dust storms across our communities. That background drives most of my technical work.
Applying to study mechanical engineering with a focus on security engineering. I still teach taekwondo locally.
I build across:
- AI security (autonomous pentesting agents)
- Environmental AI (satellite pipelines, foundation models, RL for agriculture)
- Datacenter cooling optimization (deep reinforcement learning)
- VR thermal haptics research
- Custom developer tooling (agentic OS)
I read Russian literature (Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov), philosophy (Nietzsche, Camus, Aristotle), and Karakalpak poetry - Ibrayim Yusupov especially.
Long-term plan: build skills and capital abroad, then return to Karakalpakstan and apply everything to local problems.
I'm looking for compute sponsorship and research funding to scale my environmental and security AI projects. If any of this resonates, reach out.
For what I'm working on right now, see now. Things I’ve built live under projects.
