Kuan

Kuanysh “Kuan” is a Kazakh-Canadian entrepreneur, product maker, full-stack engineer, and systems thinker focused on pragmatic value and global sovereignty.

Born near the Semipalatinsk nuclear site, his tech journey began as a kid on a Pentium II, hacking Bomberman and exploring the dial-up web by 2000. By 13, he had sold his first website, and at 19, he was the youngest developer to launch a national e-gov service used by citizens of Kazakhstan.

At 20, he became an independent freelancer, working remotely and earning more in a day what most earned in a month, which gave a glimpse of the freedom to choose own place and lifestyle.

Over the decade, he has consulted across Canada/US, Scandinavia, and Asia, untangling complexity for SaaS, education, and risk management companies.

Fatherhood and years of global moves shifted his ambition toward building simple, scalable products and offerings—a sovereign model showing his kids and clients that you can build lasting freedom and value from anywhere. This philosophy is the foundation for my work at SilentCTO and the products I build, like Wordspike and BorderlessKit.
