Abylay is quick to point out that every time his company creates a new product, it’s almost as if they are launching another startup company. It takes time going through beta testing, but by constantly working on improvements, consumers get a high quality product they can count on. Other projects in the works include developing a new way to make a Wi-Fi connection for any device.
Since he was a student, Abylay has been highly proficient at problem solving. Now that he has 16 years of experience as an inventor and software developer, he finds that he is always learning something new. Learning something new and making progress has become his mantra. “If you stop learning or stop inventing, then you are stuck and stop making progress. You must always try out a new idea and create something new.”
Abylay chose to move to Florida because it had warm weather, sort of like paradise, with a thriving technology sector, including engineering companies like Blue Origin and SpaceX. He knows so many of his friends and colleagues who are in Silicon Valley and would like to move to Florida when they retire. Abylay thought, why wait until retirement, when he could live in Florida now. He finds Florida to be kid-friendly and a good environment to raise his two young children.
Since moving to Florida, Abylay has taken trips to the Edison and Ford Winter Estates in Fort Meyer, where there is an historical museum located close to the site of Thomas Edison’s former winter home. Edison’s work serves as an inspiration and a reminder to Abylay to keep producing new ideas and products. Like Thomas Edison, he, too, is always inventing and always coming up with new ideas that need to be tried and perfected.
Abylay’s work at NetUP Inc. is a fine example of how ideas come to life: plenty of prototypes, different devices, concepts-in-development and products being delivered, all become the working elements that complete the business life cycle of an avid inventor and a thriving company. In the next year, under Abylay’s leadership, the company plans to expand into new markets and countries beyond Russia, including to the US and Canada.
