[SURNAME]

I build things that work.

Twelve years turning ideas into finished work — production design, executive producing, and two businesses built from zero. Now bringing that craft to AI-native filmmaking.

001 — About

From systems to sets to screens.

I started in IT — systems administration, then running my own computer club from 2014. In 2016 I co-founded a coffee-to-go business inside Almaty's metro, learning what it takes to run something day to day. Since 2018 I've worked as a production designer across film and advertising, and served as executive producer on 4–5 projects — managing budgets, crews, and the hundred small decisions that turn a concept into a finished frame.

I understand production from every angle: the technical foundation, the business of running one, and the craft of making it look right. That's the perspective I want to bring to AI-native video.

Let's talk.

Based in Almaty, open to relocation. Currently exploring opportunities in AI-native video production — Almaty's Higgsfield is exactly the kind of place I want to be building.
