STARTING FROM SCRATCH
I launched Codesmash with a simple goal—make coding education accessible to Uzbek-speaking students facing language barriers. No big team, no investors—just a vision and a laptop. Most coding platforms were in English, leaving many students struggling. Resources were scattered, structured learning was scarce, and quality courses were expensive. I knew there had to be a better way. What started as a single-page site with a few lessons quickly grew. Students who had never written a line of code were now building projects, solving challenges, and gaining confidence.

SPRING 2024
I launched Codesmash.tech just as demand for Uzbek-language coding education was picking up. We quickly pulled together a small team of volunteers and educators to shape the first structured courses. I worked on refining the platform while gathering student feedback to improve content. We outlined learning paths, built interactive lessons, and pushed forward with what we had. The goal was simple—create a learning experience that actually worked.
CODESMASH’S FIRST FULL PLATFORM
With growing demand, we expanded beyond a simple landing page. We refined our course structure, experimented with new formats, and built a platform that truly empowered students. By late 2024, Codesmash.tech had evolved into a complete learning ecosystem—structured courses, interactive challenges, and a growing community of learners. Our focus shifted from just accessibility to engagement, ensuring students didn’t just learn but stayed motivated. I led the platform’s development, collaborating with educators and developers to create an experience that made coding education both effective and exciting.
