I'm a YouTube producer based in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
I run my production company, Lucky Maker, and a multi-channel content network with 14M+ subscribers — format engineering, hooks, paid acquisition, and daily operations with my team. I also teach content creation at TubeForge Academy. Alongside content, I build software tools for creators — like Lucky Team, the in-house SaaS that runs our network.
How I got here.
Ten years of shipping software and running tech and content businesses. I started my first web-development company at fifteen, building landing pages and selling contextual advertising to local clients in Kazakhstan. That ran for three years and taught me the only thing that matters: ship something people pay for, then iterate.
After two years studying psychology at St. Petersburg State University, I left to build full-time. The decade since spans web platforms, digital advertising, creative production, blockchain infrastructure, and — since 2020 — the content network that is my main work today, with an in-house SaaS platform in daily use by 250+ producers and an academy teaching the media business.
On the side — R&D.
In April 2026 I shipped NeuroBridge — an open-source analysis platform for brain-organoid multi-electrode array recordings. Nine peer-reviewed methods, 137 API endpoints, ~12,000 lines of Python, MIT-licensed. Built solo in fourteen days, validated on FinalSpark's public fs437 dataset. It's a side / R&D project — a founder reading the peer-reviewed literature directly and shipping what the field needs, with honest labels and auditable code, not claiming a discovery I didn't make.
How I work.
Comfortable at the intersection of product, infrastructure, and scientific-method curation. I'm not a hands-on deep-code engineer today — I direct builds and make the critical design decisions, with AI-assisted engineering carrying the line-by-line weight.
Architect-familiar with Python (NumPy, SciPy, FastAPI) and TypeScript (Next.js 16, React 19, D3.js); reading-level Python for scientific computing; long-running HTML/CSS/JS foundations from a decade of web work. Hands-on with deployment — Vercel, VPS with Caddy and PM2, PyPI packaging, DNS, GitHub Actions.
Fourteen days from blank repo to a methods-grade tool isn't a stunt — it's what's possible when a generalist founder lets the model handle scaffolding while they focus on what to build and why. The contribution is in the design choices, not the keystrokes.

Where I'm useful.
Most weeks I'm split between two contexts. Media production — producer and strategist for YouTube studios, running the algorithm playbook from a 14M+ subscriber network. Biocomputing — academic and industry labs working on MEA, organoid, cell-culture, or related electrophysiology data; particularly around dataset exchanges, method validation, and joint methodological work.
