Hey, I’m Raju Zakaryayev, a product builder at the intersection of AI, storytelling, and systems thinking.

For the past 15+ years, I’ve been obsessed with one question:
“How can we build things that matter fast, smart, and human-first?”

From organizing travel for 300,000 people to launching SaaS tools that turn YouTube comments into content goldmines, I’ve worked across tourism, health, e-commerce, creative services, and AI. What ties it all together? A relentless drive to turn chaos into clarity, and ideas into outcomes.

These days, I’m building tools that automate workflows, amplify creativity, and scale insights with a bias toward speed, context-awareness, and human delight.

I don’t believe in generic.
I believe in listening better, shipping faster, and using technology to empower real people with real goals.

Some of the problems I love working on:

• “Second Brain” systems for solo founders
• Market feedback loops powered by multilingual AI
• Async productivity for global teams
• Idea-to-MVP pipelines for smart misfits and big thinkers

I speak 5 languages. I live in Berlin. I think best while riding a bike or watching great storytelling.

If you’re building in AI, content, or productivity, let’s talk.
Otherwise, enjoy the site. Everything here is a reflection of things I deeply care about, not just what I’ve done, but what I believe is possible.
