A little background

About me

I’m Aiaru, a Minerva University student from Astana, Kazakhstan, now based in San Francisco.

I study Business & Computer Science. I enjoy taking a problem I’ve seen firsthand and building something useful around it — from helping truck drivers find loads to keeping track of conversations.

Before getting into tech, I spent 10+ years in professional singing on international stages. From an early age, it trained me to perform well under immense pressure (!), read the audience, and work with discipline, which is foundational to how I work today.
