it started with games.
i tried to make my own games in 5th grade. by 8th i was doing competitive programming, by 10th i was writing my own ML models, and i still played video games far more than i should’ve been.
[02] 9th grade
the first invoice.
i wrote to a business owner and offered to build his site. the landing page paid about 90,000 tenge. after that i kept writing to companies: sites, telegram bots, automation. small jobs, each one bringing the next.

auditing studio.
orders came in faster than i could do them alone. the first big one, 1.5 million tenge, shipped in two weeks with a team. a friend and i turned that into an auditing studio: an outside cto for small and mid-size companies, from audits to CRMs to AI agents that answer clients in whatsapp and telegram. about $38K in 3 months, projected $150K ARR, and not one ad.

before the write.
the pitch in one slide: before one agent edits a file another agent is working in, it gets one line in its own context. it adjusts and stays on its task.
