Professional Life

Abdulaziz is studying Computer Engineering through Qatar Foundation’s HBKU. He worked across disciplines of data systems, web engineering, supply chain ledgers, and community volunteering programs. Currently, he is working on his UniKid project, a web-and-telegram-GUI based app whereby parents post a single photograph of their child and get a privately printed fairy‑tale collection that serves as a kingdom residence of ink and paper for the same heroic, original little hero.

Work Experience

Co‑Founder
Blagoe Delo
Jul 2020 – Present · Samarkand, Uzbekistan · Hybrid

Blagoe Delo began during the COVID‑19 pandemic, when many families in our community faced food shortages and financial hardship. Together with my cousin Azim, we started by distributing meat to our neighbors and relatives during Kurban Bayram, a traditional time of sharing.

Over time, we realized how many people needed support and decided to organize our efforts more effectively. We created an Instagram group to coordinate donations and deliveries, which soon grew into a community‑driven platform helping dozens of families.

Although I’m not as active in daily operations today, I continue to support Blagoe Delo by promoting campaigns, reposting stories, and helping raise funds to sustain our small but meaningful impact.
