What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and growth in technology-driven environments.

I am a passionate entrepreneur and robotics engineer currently leading SmartView Innovations, a startup dedicated to revolutionizing the mining and metallurgical industries through advanced Computer Vision and Machine Learning solutions. My journey began at Nazarbayev University, where I honed my skills and developed a strong foundation in robotics engineering, achieving a GPA of 3.62/4.0.

At SmartView Innovations, I successfully built a multidisciplinary team and spearheaded the development of groundbreaking products that optimize operational efficiency. One of our notable achievements includes enhancing gold processing efficiency by 2% for Brendt LLP through automated inspections using drones. My commitment to innovation is further exemplified by my role as Co-founder and CPO at WMA Group, where we are creating interactive outdoor advertising solutions that leverage cutting-edge technologies like Computer Vision and Large Language Models.
