I grew up in Malougrenyovo, a village of about 2,500 people in Altai, Russia. Every school day starts with a 40-minute bus ride to Biysk.

I got my first computer at 12 and started learning Python through a local programming academy. At 14, I shifted to AI-native software development, using AI to accelerate everything from architecture to deployment.

Soon after, I built ByMeVPN — a Telegram-based VPN service with automated subscriptions, payments, and backend infrastructure. I designed, deployed, and iterated on the system myself, learning firsthand how to deal with production issues, infrastructure failures, and ISP blocking.

Today, I'm focused on Go, distributed systems, and computer science fundamentals while building new products and improving my engineering skills.

My next step is studying Computer Engineering in Milan. My long-term goal is to build AI companies that compete on a global scale.
