At ISSAI, I worked in a team of five to build the infrastructure for Oylan, a multimodal Kazakh LLM with a public API. I contributed the vLLM deployment, backend, CI/CD, and monitoring for a service handling thousands of requests a day.

At Gcore, I wrote a Go-based Kubernetes operator to automate deployment and management of Qdrant clusters. I also deployed and operated open-weight LLMs with vLLM on Kubernetes and maintained Python services.

At SOTA, I built REST API endpoints serving live football data and replaced a file-based data flow with endpoints reading directly from the database. I also designed an MCP server for the platform's AI features and developed React features.

Earlier, at Kazdream Technologies and Imas Group, I built data crawlers, APIs, parsers, and processing pipelines. I now mentor backend students part-time at nFactorial School.
