About

What it is

The GameLab is a game-development research and education unit inside Kazakh-British Technical University. I run its educational offerings as products — market-relevant curricula, outside partners, and an incubator that pushes student work toward real releases.

What I've done

  • Programs as products. Owned the lifecycle for the lab's game-development educational programs. Curriculum is written against what industry actually hires for; we track the usual KPIs — engagement, graduation rates, and job placement after the program.
  • UNICEF Kazakhstan. Produced and delivered four consecutive educational projects in partnership with UNICEF Kazakhstan.
  • Partnerships. Grew the university's partner pool by securing five strategic deals that feed both curriculum and placement.
  • Incubator. Designed and ran a project incubator that has launched six high-quality game projects so far; three are currently being published on Steam.

Ongoing since June 2022.
