What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own backend architecture and production reliability for high-impact systems, while building practical AI/RAG and computer-vision capabilities with strong engineering teams.

At JSC NC KazMunayGas, I improve a Kubernetes-based enterprise platform serving 5,000–10,000+ daily internal requests. I helped reduce API response time by approximately 30% and downtime by approximately 40%, while leading a zero-disruption migration across 11 servers from CentOS 7 to Rocky Linux 9.x with SELinux Enforcing.

I've built Java/Spring Boot microservices, REST APIs, Kafka-driven integrations, and data-intensive services across ID Dev, DICODE, and the KEGOC Project. My work spans PostgreSQL optimization, Redis caching, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, payment integrations, and end-to-end production troubleshooting.

I also build practical AI systems, including an enterprise Service Desk RAG assistant using Qdrant and multilingual LLM workflows, plus PyTorch/YOLO computer-vision services for vehicle detection and classification.
