It started with plain curiosity — I always liked figuring out how things work and whether I could build them myself. One day I made my first website and got hooked. At first it was just fun. Then I realised I wanted to build real things and turn ideas into products people actually use.
I wasn’t always a developer. Before this I worked as a courier at Obi Dushanbe and as an English teacher at Faridun 3. My English is good and I talk with people from other countries all the time, so working with clients abroad is easy for me. I’ve been training MMA, grappling and BJJ for about four years — sport shaped my character and taught me discipline. Now I’m growing as a developer, building my own projects and always trying something new.
“I read Haruki Murakami, train MMA and walk around Dushanbe at night listening to Cigarettes After Sex.”
What I learned
- Second-year student at the Technical University of Tajikistan named after Academician Osimi.
- Learned web development mostly on my own, plus two years at IT-RUN: practice, real projects and constant learning.
- English — five years at Faridun 3, then kept improving by talking with people from other countries.
- MMA, grappling and BJJ — about four years of training.

Why work with me
Because I don’t just do the task — I want to understand why your business needs it. I look at the project like an owner: what should change after launch, how the site will sell, and why people should trust it. That’s why I often suggest things clients didn’t even think of, but that really move the result.
Because I build things that look more expensive than they cost, and I treat your project like my own business. I care about the result, not just handing over files.
What I don’t take on
I don’t take jobs where a website is needed just “to have one” instead of as a tool that should change something. If the result after launch doesn’t matter to you, we’re not a match.
I try not to take projects where everything was decided without me and all that’s needed is a pair of hands. I’m not a coder for hire — I want a say in what the product becomes.
What clients say
- They recommend me to others.
- They say they don’t get why I charge so little for this kind of work.
When people ask me to drop the price because “it’s simple, just add some pictures, make it cheaper” — I don’t like that, and I don’t drop the price anyway.
Got an idea? Let’s build it.
