01 / About

Builder.
By nature.

Iskander Abubakr is a British-Kyrgyz entrepreneur, software developer, content creator, pianist, and aviator based in London. Across computing, making, music, aviation, and leadership, he has built a record of achievement that spans disciplines most people never combine.

A Roblox developer for five years, he has been building games and experiences in Lua since around age eight — long before most people his age considered software development seriously. He extends that technical depth into AI agent development, PC hardware, 3D printing, laser cutting, and tech repair.

Selected for The Brilliant Club, he completed a university-level research assignment and earned a 2:1 grade — equivalent to a good GCSE standard. He was subsequently invited to visit Oxford University and has been reinvited for the following year. He has also been invited to the London headquarters of KPMG and HSBC.

As founder of IskanderBuilds, he documents his builds and experiments on YouTube — from DIY electrolysis to 3D printing projects. A CCF Cadet working toward Lance Corporal, he brings the same discipline to military training as he does to everything else.

04 / Aviation

Cleared for
takeoff.

Aviation isn't a hobby — it's a serious pursuit. With real glider flight experience, visits to multiple flight schools and aviation events, and an advanced simulation setup including VR, the approach to flying mirrors the same rigour applied to everything else.

Microsoft Flight Simulator and DCS World provide the technical depth — learning aircraft systems, navigation, and procedures with the same attention to detail as real flight training.

The goal is a full pilot's licence. The foundation is already being built.
