Who I am.
I grew up in Dagestan, in the mountains of southern Russia — a place that teaches you early that the world is bigger and more complicated than whatever you currently think you know.
I studied at Moscow State University, graduated with honors, and somewhere between the lecture halls and the late nights I became obsessed with how technology changes the way people make decisions.
I work at the intersection of product management, project delivery, and AI. That intersection is messier than it sounds — and I find that mess genuinely interesting.

Experience.
Three projects. Each one started with a question that turned out to be more complicated than it first appeared.
01
AI · Urban Planning · Infrastructure
AI Forecasting Platform
The challenge wasn't technical — it was convincing people to make decisions based on a model they hadn't built themselves.

Computer Vision · OCR · Automation
Computer Vision Inspection Platform
On paper: reduce manual effort, improve accuracy. In practice: redesigning how a team thinks about their own expertise when a machine can do the repetitive part.

Discovery · Research · PoC · MVP
AI Innovation Discovery
Some of these became products. Some didn't, and that was the right outcome. Discovery done properly produces both.

Expertise.
How I actually approach the work — you can decide whether that's useful.
AI + R&D
The skill that's actually rare isn't knowing how to use AI. It's being willing to say, in a room full of people excited about AI, that this particular problem doesn't need it.
AI strategy sessions where the output is sometimes "not yet," PoC scoping that sets realistic expectations, product thinking applied to model behavior — not just the interface around it.

Product
Discovery
Discovery is the part most people want to skip. The most valuable finding — "this isn't the right problem to solve" — feels like failure to anyone hoping for a roadmap. I've learned to be comfortable with that finding.
Customer interviews that go off-script, assumption maps that make stakeholders uncomfortable, JTBD framing that reframes what we're actually building.

Project
Delivery
A project without trust moves slowly. The part that actually determines whether something ships is whether people feel like they're working toward the same thing.
Stand-ups that surface real blockers, stakeholder communication that says the difficult thing before it becomes a crisis.

Photos.
And here something about me — a hobby that started with an obsession with taking beautiful photos, fueled by the desire to freeze fleeting moments. I find myself drawn to architecture, street life, and the small details most people walk past.
