I’m Xayrillo, an 18-year-old builder from Urgut. I’m interested in the unglamorous problems around me: waiting for food at a bazaar, studying with weak internet, and keeping remote work private.
I did not begin with “I want to build a startup.” Each step started with something that bothered me enough to investigate.
I was embarrassed, then curious. I traced wallets, learned OSINT, moved to Linux, studied the OWASP Top 10, and completed more than 25 security labs. A bad decision became the reason I learned how trust fails online.
Movistan eventually served more than 800 people and handled around 1,200 daily searches at its busiest. The hard part stopped being “can I code this?” and became reliability, confused users, and fixing the same edge case twice.
That led to pickup ordering for bazaar kitchens, offline driving-test practice, and a private remote-work tool. The projects are different; the instinct is the same: reduce one piece of friction, then listen.
Florida Tech admitted me to its BS Computer Science program. Until that email, studying in the United States was mostly an application portal, essays, and waiting. This was the first concrete yes.
The offer proved I could compete internationally. It did not solve the cost of attending.
RIT admitted me to Cybersecurity and later awarded a renewable $23,000 annual scholarship—up to $92,000 over four years. It was the program closest to the work that first pulled me into technology.
Even after the scholarship, the remaining cost was beyond what my family could afford. I was admitted, but I could not enroll.
Penn State Harrisburg offered me a place in Cybersecurity Analytics and Operations. By then, the pattern was clear: the obstacle was not whether a university would admit me.
The obstacle was affordability. I stayed in Uzbekistan, took the lesson seriously, and kept building instead of treating an offer letter as the final achievement.
A Telegram-first pickup tool for bazaar kitchens. Customers browse, order ahead, and collect when the food is ready. The idea came from watching delivery products solve the wrong problem for places where people are already nearby.
A cross-platform SSH/SFTP client shaped by zero-trust thinking. I built connection recovery, encrypted credential storage, file transfer, packaging, and CI across Flutter targets.
Driving-exam practice for Uzbek learners, with an offline-first mobile direction. It began as a website; rebuilding it around local storage and sync forced me to think beyond the happy path.
No inflated dashboards. Just outcomes that meant something because a real person, classroom, or decision sat behind them.
