Westminster University | 2st semester, level 6

Hey there! It's time for my final reflections on my time at Westminster International University in Tashkent. Can you believe how quickly the last semester flew by? With three engaging modules under my belt, let's delve into the highlights.

Okay, so first up, let's talk about the Business Information Systems Project (BISP). I've previously shared insights on this module, but this semester brought a newfound appreciation for our module leader, Shirin Primkulova. Her receptiveness to feedback and proactive adjustments enhanced the learning experience. Plus, I got to organize numerous guest lectures enriched my soft skills and organizational acumen, offering invaluable encounters with accomplished alumni. Oh, and about my project? I developed a SaaS application streamlining PDF document management with AI integration. Even though I only really dove into it for a couple of weeks during winter (busy times, you know?), I managed to pull off some MVP features and garnered favorable feedback, culminating in a commendable grade exceeding 70.

The Computer-generated Imagery module opened my eyes to the world of 3D design, where we delved into creating models and honed our skills in lighting, shading, materials, and scene composition. It was an exhilarating experience, akin to artistic expression. Throughout the module, I shipped some existing projects that I'm eager to showcase in this post. I highly recommend choosing this module, not just for the valuable skills learned, but also for the fresh perspectives and humor provided by our module leader, Bekzodaka.

The Information Security module immersed us in the world of cybersecurity, covering essential concepts and ethical hacking techniques using Kali Linux on virtual machines. Our dedicated module leader went above and beyond, arranging an additional lecture featuring cybersecurity experts from the national bank. Prior to taking this module, hacking seemed like a murky realm to me, but through engaging with topics such as cryptography and the history of cybersecurity, I gained valuable insights. Overall, I'm pleased with the knowledge and experiences gained from this module, which opened up a new and fulfilling learning journey for me.

Looking back, I'm pumped to say I've wrapped up all my assignments and I'm on track to graduate with a first-class honors diploma. While the Business Information Systems course demanded diligence, its flexibility enabled a harmonious balance between my studies and full-time job. Engaging with like-minded peers, running the clubs, and organizing guest lectures have not only enriched my academic journey but also improved my personal brand and soft skills.

👉 Thanks for sticking with me through my series of university reflections. Let's stay tuned to see what the future holds!

#podcasts

I’ve decided to post systematically about the podcasts I find useful and inspiring. These shows often touch on tech, self-development, or unique stories that resonate with me. Here are some recent episodes I’d highly recommend:

🎙 Как недостаток превратить в силу? Арсен Томский о роли смыслов, трудном детстве и особой миссии

This episode dives into the incredible story of Arsen Tomsky, the founder of InDrive, and explores the company’s mission and values. InDrive stands out as more than just a business—it’s a movement, originating in Siberia (Yakutsk) and now one of the top 3 apps in its industry, with over 200 million downloads and operations in 45+ countries.

Tomsky’s journey is deeply inspiring. He openly discusses his childhood struggles, including his experience with stuttering, and how he transformed what some might see as a disadvantage into a powerful symbol of authenticity. His story is a testament to the idea that anyone, regardless of location or personal challenges, can make a global impact.

🎙 Асель Машанова: Как за 5 лет создать компанию с годовым оборотом в 6 млрд тенге?

I came across this episode while exploring nFactorial’s most popular shows, and it did not disappoint. What stood out to me were her insights into operations and decision-making at the top management level. She also shared simple yet effective advice about nutrition, steering clear of trendy supplements and focusing on basics.

Arman, the host, is phenomenal—his thoughtful questions, attentive listening, and engaging style make him one of the best interviewers I’ve come across.

🎙 «Про семью — в разряде хобби». Как собеседуют топ-менеджеров в США

These series are a real gem. The point here is on interviewing senior and top-level specialists in tech, providing feedback on their responses, and showcasing what makes a great interview.

I found the recruiter’s questions and the constructive feedback incredibly valuable. The host’s voiceovers added another layer of depth, helping to highlight key points and maintain focus.

What do you think of this format?
