After an incredible journey, I've decided to leave Outtalent.
What started as joining as the first engineering hire became one of the most impactful experiences of my career. Over the past few years, I had the opportunity to grow into the role of Co-Founder & CTO and help build Kyrgyzstan's first YC-backed startup.
Together, we built products used by engineers around the world, automated key company processes, scaled our engineering operations, and grew the company through multiple stages of its journey. I had the opportunity to build products from scratch, lead engineering, integrate AI into our workflows, and help create a culture of moving fast, solving problems, and focusing on outcomes.
I'm especially grateful to Tilek Mamutov, the entire Outtalent team, our fellows, mentors, investors, and everyone who was part of this journey. I've learned an enormous amount about startups, engineering, leadership, hiring, fundraising, and building products that people truly need.
Looking back, I'm proud of what we accomplished together. We built a lean team, shipped fast, embraced AI early, and helped talented engineers from emerging markets access opportunities they might not have had otherwise.
While this chapter is ending, I'm excited for what comes next.
If you'd like to connect, collaborate, or discuss new ideas, feel free to reach out.
Thank you, Outtalent. It was an unforgettable adventure. 🚀
