If one part dips, the cause is often in the one next to it
Market, product, marketing, sales, operations and economics are connected. I look at the whole business, not only my own patch.
Marketing, product, design, copy and AI. Nineteen projects since 2018, four markets, my own startup.
All my projects and work in one sphere. Spin it and click any tile.
Logistics, construction, SaaS, food delivery, education, banking, events, lighting, mattresses, building materials. Strategy, funnels, ads, analytics, working with sales. Nine projects in numbers below, each over its own period. Saelog has a toggle.
Three principles I use to break down any business. The diagrams are live: hover, click, switch.
Market, product, marketing, sales, operations and economics are connected. I look at the whole business, not only my own patch.
Leads are low and the first instinct is to add budget. I start by looking at what each channel brings: people or clicks.
A contractor goes as far as the report: the campaign is live, the job is done. An owner goes further, over the top of the hill: the money is back and something is left over. I have my own business too, so I take the second route in other people's as well.
No thinking, nothing to multiply. So I hand the routine to AI and keep the whole picture and the causes myself.
Yalla Lunch: subscription lunches for companies, and I'm the managing partner. In 2026 we relaunched the product, entered Uzbekistan and made the final of the Silkway accelerator by Google for Startups. Price, commission, LTV and CAC are on me. Mom Test interviews with HR and finance directors uncovered a tax barrier before any money went into the model. Before that I launched products inside other people's companies.
Landing pages, quizzes, decks, ad creatives and proposals. Where a designer did the visuals, I wrote the structure and the brief. Work from 2023-2026 below, open any of it.
Tone of voice for a bank and a fintech, landing page copy with notes on why it reads that way, proposal templates based on Gong and Challenger, interview scripts from The Mom Test, video scripts, cover letters. Examples sit alongside, each one opens.
By September I had my own CRM running on a server, job ad parsers, lead-capturing quizzes, a fact-checking hook and this website. Before that, AI assistants for WhatsApp funnels. AI does the routine, the thinking stays human.
Hiring and reviewing test tasks, assessing the sales team deal by deal, working directly with owners. In my spreadsheet every figure is tagged: fact, benchmark or assumption.
Born in Dushanbe on 5 August 2002, now based in Almaty. Almaty Management University: bachelor's in entrepreneurship on a 100% grant, graduated with honours. Creative Spark by British Council. Tajik native, Russian fluent, English B2. I ran the UAE and Malaysia projects in English.
In summer 2026 Yalla Lunch reached the final of the Silkway accelerator by Google for Startups, seventh cohort. We finished the whole programme: 26 sessions with a mentor, a financial model, unit economics and market entry.
I'm strongest at what I've done longest, with results I can measure. Hover or tap an axis, the explanation is below.
I'm open to a Head of Marketing or CMO role, hybrid in Almaty, and I hold a work permit for Kazakhstan.
