Welcome to my personal space
Explore with me, read, get healthy, and check the ideas I share.
Hi, I'm Konstantin.
Curious about people, technology and living well.
I work in technical product management, but work is only one of the things that keeps me curious.
I spend a lot of time trying to understand how people think, how technology can make life better, and how to build a healthy and balanced life. I read, write, build small apps and tools, work out almost every day, experiment with new technology, make things with my hands, and drive around Europe whenever I get the chance.
This website is where I collect some of those interests, projects, ideas and lessons.
A little about me
I was born and grew up in Tashkent during a period of enormous change. Later, I moved to Germany, where I have built a life that feels much more like my own.
My career started in finance and economics before my curiosity about programming, data and technology gradually pulled me into tech and product management.
Today, I work on complex digital products and systems. Outside work, I am usually learning something, building something, reading, exercising or thinking about what I could do differently.
I am less interested in becoming exceptional at one thing than in building a life that works well as a whole.
Health
I am not trying to become a professional athlete.
I want to move well, feel comfortable in my body, stay strong, look healthy and hopefully remain active for a long time.
That means regular strength training, mobility work, walking, attention to food and sleep, preventive medical checks and a lot of experimentation with what makes me feel better or worse.
My approach is not about perfection. It is about consistency and paying attention.
Writing
I write when I have an idea that keeps returning.
Some of my articles are about technology or product management. Others are about leadership, psychology, organizations, health or things I notice in everyday life.
I do not want this blog to fit into a single professional niche. It is simply a place for ideas that I find worth thinking about.
Books
Reading is one of the ways I expose myself to ideas I probably would not reach on my own.
I do not count pages or try to hit yearly reading targets. I read when it fits into my life and try to do it consistently.
I used to take extensive notes. Eventually I realized that I almost never returned to them. These days I prefer to test ideas while I am still reading and see whether any of them actually survive in my life.

I enjoy conversations with curious people.
