I am an AI software engineer and researcher with a background in Silicon Valley, where I worked as a business executive. I love buying tickets at every opportunity to see great views and enjoy different tastes. I have many life experiences and stories that often feel like scenes from a movie. Alongside my career, I am also building my own startup in the career consulting space.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I use Couchsurfing to meet people beyond the tourist side of places. For me, traveling is more about human connections, conversations, and learning how people really live, rather than just seeing landmarks. I enjoy exchanging stories, cultures, and perspectives over coffee, a walk, or a simple local experience.

Música, películas y libros

My taste is diverse and mood-based. I enjoy music that’s good for traveling or working, and I’m always open to recommendations.
For books, I like mystery and thought-provoking stories — Dan Brown is a favorite. I also enjoy movies and series in this genre.

Algo increíble que he hecho

In 2016, I moved from Kazakhstan to London alone after being accepted into a high school there. My hosts were Turkish, and years later I studied at a Turkish university, where they helped me adapt to Turkish society. Five years later, we met again in London. This experience showed me how a single connection between strangers can turn into a lifelong bond.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach negotiation skills, how to get investment deals, teach Russian, and share honest insights about AI. I love learning from others as well — especially local culture, hidden spots, recipes, and new skills.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I bring respect, curiosity, and good conversations. I can share stories, cultural insights, and discussions about startups, investments on a budget, and history. If available, I can bring horse meat to try, Turkish delight, and stories from Silicon Valley, Central Asia, and beyond.
