What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where I can grow my skills and contribute to innovative projects.

I'm a dedicated software engineer currently working at ForteBank JSC, where I design and maintain distributed services using Java 17 and Spring Boot. My experience includes refactoring legacy systems into stateless REST APIs and implementing CI/CD automation, which has significantly improved our deployment processes. I thrive in Agile environments and enjoy optimizing database queries to enhance performance.

Previously, I contributed to Bank CenterCredit JSC, developing backend modules for a microservice-based banking ecosystem. My work involved secure token-based authentication and generating interactive API documentation. As a research assistant at Nazarbayev University's NLP Lab, I built FastAPI microservices for NLP models, showcasing my ability to integrate advanced technologies into practical applications.
