What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production AI/NLP systems (LLMs, RAG, TTS/ASR) with strong engineering teams, scalable infrastructure, and opportunities to deploy on SaaS and edge devices.

I am a Senior Python developer and NLP researcher who builds production-grade AI systems, specializing in LLMs, RAG, TTS, and ASR. I combine academic research rigor with pragmatic engineering to deliver scalable, low-latency solutions across SaaS and edge devices.

As founder and lead AI engineer for Project Qamar, I architected a state-of-the-art Turkmen language AI ecosystem (LLM, TTS, STT), curated large proprietary datasets (>250 hours audio, 60k+ instruction pairs), and deployed models that outperform existing solutions. I have repeatedly migrated and optimized vector search backends (Faiss → ClickHouse), improving speed and search quality.

My hands-on experience spans backend systems (FastAPI, ClickHouse, PostgreSQL), CI/CD, containerization, and Edge AI optimization (quantization, ONNX) for single-board computers. I prioritize robust data pipelines, automated validation, and scalable architectures that deliver measurable improvements in throughput and reliability.
