Hey, welcome to my world!

Data Center Supply Chain at Google
About me
Salom! I'm Orzumand, a Program Manager at Google, working behind the scenes to support AI acceleration across the world. I make sure our data centers have the right physical infrastructure needed to process your search prompts at google.com and beyond.
At heart, I'm a product of two worlds, Uzbekistan and the United States, having spent half my life in each. At this stage, I'm not entirely sure where I belong more, but I'm proud to have embraced the best of both cultures, each unique and vastly different. At my core, I'm a data-driven supply chain nerd who's also a bit passionate about commercial aviation.

Feel free to be my digital guest, and don't shy away from saying hi!
Life Purpose & Mission
I believe every person is born with a reason for being here, even if it takes a lifetime to uncover it. I call this one's purpose and mission.
For some, that reason shows up as a calling: spending a career trying to cure a disease, or building something that changes how people live. For others, it's quieter, like raising a family with intention, or simply showing up as a source of stability for the people around them.
I define my purpose as something I'll pursue until my very last heartbeat: "To make our planet a better place to live, for us and for future generations."
My mission, in contrast, is something I aim to fulfill within a specific chapter of my life: "To help the world see Uzbekistan the way I do, and to build real bridges between my country and the people I meet along the way."

Testimonials
"I connected with Orzumand during my final semester of my master’s program while navigating the job search as an international student. Even though we didn’t know each other beforehand, he was incredibly kind, approachable, and supportive throughout our conversations. I wasn’t very familiar with the tech industry or the recruiting process, but he took the time to explain things clearly and shared a lot of honest, practical advice that was genuinely helpful for my career. I especially appreciated that he was realistic and straightforward, while still being encouraging and supportive. Our conversations gave me a much clearer understanding of the recruiting process and helped me feel more confident about my next steps. I would definitely recommend Orzumand to anyone looking for honest and practical career advice!"

"I met Orzumand during the first semester of my MBA program on a company visit to the Google Atlanta office. We were supposed to have lunch and learn with UNC-KFBS alumni, but Orzu, despite not being a UNC alum, volunteered to speak with us as well. He was incredibly kind and approachable, and he took the time to listen to my struggles as an international student and shared really valuable insights on how to break into big tech in a new country. I followed up with him shortly after, and we connected on LinkedIn. From there, he was incredibly generous with his time and advice, sharing so much insight into the recruiting process and even reviewing my resume. He emphasized how important a resume is as the first step in getting your foot in the door, and his feedback was extremely helpful. After incorporating his suggestions, I ended up getting interviews with two big tech companies and ultimately received an internship offer from one of them. What stood out most to me about Orzu was how supportive he was throughout my entire recruiting process, from reviewing my resume and helping with applications and referrals to checking in throughout the process to make sure I was doing well. Even after I secured my internship, he continued to check in and offer his support. His guidance made me feel much more confident and supported throughout what can be a very challenging recruiting process, especially as an international student. I would absolutely recommend Orzu to anyone looking for honest, practical career advice and someone who genuinely cares about helping others succeed."

"I came to Orzumand with an MBA from Arizona State but limited insight into how tech sourcing and procurement roles actually get filled. His coaching changed that quickly. He was direct and practical from the first conversation, helping me sharpen how I positioned my experience and understand what recruiters in the space actually look for. What stood out most was his honesty—he told me what I needed to hear, not just what was easy to say, while staying genuinely encouraging. His advice gave me a clear framework I still use in how I think about my career. I’d recommend Orzumand without hesitation to anyone looking for honest, practical career guidance."

"Orzumand has been one of the most amazing people I’ve had the opportunity to work with and learn from throughout my internship recruitment process and early career journey. He has been incredibly kind, understanding, and genuinely easy to talk to about every stage of the process, especially as a first-generation student who was initially clueless about many early career opportunities. He took the time to help me not only with my resume, but also with the soft skills needed to navigate interviews and the overall hiring process. His guidance helped me build confidence in myself and realize that even as a sophomore, I was capable of landing an internship. What truly sets Orzumand apart is his sincerity and practical approach. Even with increasingly complex interview and hiring processes nowadays, he has a way of helping you clear the noise and focus on what actually matters. I’ve genuinely enjoyed and benefited from every conversation and help session I’ve had with him.I cannot recommend Orzumand enough for his professionalism, industry experience, and genuine desire to help guide the next generation of early career professionals. He speaks from experience and truly cares about helping others grow. His guidance, wisdom, and kindness make him someone I would confidently recommend to anyone at any stage of their career journey."

"I had the opportunity to connect with Orzumand early in my master’s program when I was starting to explore supply chain and procurement opportunities in the U.S. As an international student, I had a lot of questions about how to approach the recruiting process and present my previous experience to employers. Although we had never met before, he was very welcoming and generous with his time. He shared valuable insights into the supply chain field, the hiring process, and the skills that companies are actually looking for. What stood out to me most was his willingness to be honest and realistic rather than simply giving generic career advice. Our discussions helped me better understand how to approach my job search and gave me more direction as I began building my career in supply chain. I would gladly recommend Orzumand to anyone looking for thoughtful guidance and genuine career advice in the supply chain or procurement space."

"I wanted to highlight how helpful Orzu was throughout my internship recruitment process. His feedback helped me significantly polish my resume and gain better insights into how to position my experience and strengths more effectively. He was always responsive to my questions and went above and beyond by taking the time to connect with me over calls to discuss my resume and application strategy in detail. His guidance helped me navigate the internship recruitment cycle with greater confidence and ease, while also helping me think more strategically about the roles I was applying to and how to present my profile. I truly appreciate the time, thoughtfulness, and support he provided throughout the process."

"Nothing beats experience."

Whatever stage you're at, I can help calm the chaos and guide you in creating a clear, actionable plan for applying to internships, so you can stay focused, confident, and goal-oriented.
