Hi, my name is Atamurad. These days I am learning AI engineering.

Before that, I was busy changing how people in my country access entertainment. Not so long ago, we didn’t have high-speed Internet, but people still wanted to watch Netflix. I saw the opportunity and hacked my way from a start-up concept to a very successful company. You can read the full story here – Cinematon: Bootstrapping Video On Demand Service in Central Asia (and Part 2).

Despite recent successes, my proudest achievement is winning the gold medal at International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI)—a world-renowned algorithm programming competition—a decade ago. It was not only the first gold for my country but also the first for our region in IOI history.

I learned some of my programming skills while studying Computer Science at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. However, Academia wasn’t for me; and after several years there, I became distracted by more exciting side projects. Finally, I decided to leave school to pursue those endeavors full time, and I never looked back.
