Currently, I lead projects at the Center for Strategic Initiatives, where I successfully implemented an information system for a regional government. My role involves defining operational processes, managing client relationships, and delivering analytical solutions that drive efficiency and effectiveness.

Previously, I contributed to significant projects at Kazakhtelecom, focusing on supply chain tracking and tracing. My background also includes a strong foundation in network engineering, having worked at JSC NC Kazsatnet.
