Hey, I'm Tair Asim.

I was born and raised in Kazakhstan, moved to Finland in my 20s, spent some time in Dubai, and finally settled in beautiful Barcelona.

I currently head product at Sync, where we're building creative editing tools to control humans in video — starting with AI lipsync.

Previously, I was a founding engineer at buildspace, world's largest school for people working on their own ideas. I helped scale nights & weekends to 100K+ students and led engineering for sage — an AI social product to help builders find others like themselves.

Before that, I worked as a senior engineer at thirdweb, an open-source platform for full-stack Web3 development.

In my spare time, I tinker with side projects and contribute to open-source — most recently evm.codes, an interactive reference for the Ethereum VM.

In the past, I've consulted Fortune 500 companies, such as Nokia & Microsoft, taught at universities and bootcamps, led product and engineering teams, and founded two developer-focused startups: Deveo (acquired by Perforce) and Dockbit (didn't work out, but what a ride).
