People in DSML Kazakhstan

passion to statistics, logic and combinatorics. In my free time do writing and construction. Thinking about getting a PhD in CS.

Rustem Takhanov is a mathematician at Nazarbayev University whose research spans discrete geometry, combinatorics, optimization, machine learning theory, and theoretical computer science. His recent work focuses on high-dimensional kissing arrangements and sphere packings. In 2026, together with collaborators, he constructed a configuration of 841 spheres kissing a central sphere in 12-dimensional Euclidean space, improving a lower bound that had stood since the work of Leech and Sloane in 1971.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of experience building backend, full-stack, and data-driven systems for fintech, healthcare, education, and developer tooling. My main stack includes Kotlin, Java, Python, TypeScript, Spring Boot, FastAPI, React, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Terraform, and cloud infrastructure. I have worked as a full-time engineer and in part-time CTO roles, leading small engineering teams, designing scalable microservice architectures, building observability platforms, and applying machine learning to scheduling, automation, forecasting, and product workflows. I’m especially interested in practical AI products, MLOps, data engineering, and the Central Asia AI ecosystem.

I am an AI Engineer focused on applied LLM systems, NLP, RAG, model adaptation, and AI infrastructure for real-world products. I work on building practical AI assistants, evaluation pipelines, and domain-specific solutions for public sector and enterprise use cases.

My name is Ildar Bikmamatov. I'm a full-stack developer, CTO, and the creator of BayLang — an open-source AI platform for building web applications, CRM, and ERP systems. I've been coding since 2003. My journey: - Started with Pascal in school in Kazakhstan (2003) - Competed in regional and national olympiads in informatics - Represented Kazakhstan at ACM ICPC in Almaty and Tashkent - Won 3rd place at IT Planeta in Linux administration - Built 30+ IT projects over 20 years — from freelancer to CTO - Created BayLang programming language — a compiler-based platform with its own programming language, component architecture, Open Core model, and Marketplace - Placed top 30 in Yandex Code Run 2023 (Machine Learning track)

Applied Mathematics graduate from Lead Data Scientist/MLOps. I build DS/ML/AI systems - speech analytics, time series forecasting, LLM integration, and teach ML courses University. Preparing to start a master's sometime soon.
