Experience

Founding Engineer

TrueMile (YC F26)

May 2026 — Present

Built and productionized an agentic freight platform with three live workflows, expanding its regression suite to 1,320 tests and building evaluation systems.

• Owned the 0→1 architecture and productionization of TrueMile's core agentic AI platform, orchestrating 3 autonomous freight workflows from initial build to live operation on real fleet data: weekly planning, disruption replanning, and idle-truck spot pursuit. • Built agent orchestration and tool-driven communication workflows across email, voice, and WhatsApp, enabling autonomous load pursuit and broker negotiation; a live flow ranked 5 market loads and drafted 5 broker emails, surfacing 3 integration defects missed by unit tests.

Research Assistant

University of Delaware

Aug 2024 — May 2026

Developed a climate imputation pipeline that reduced GPU inference runtime 3,500x and achieved 62% lower RMSE than kriging.

• Cut GPU inference runtime from 3,745s to 1.06s per ensemble (3,500x speedup), enabling near-real-time climate reconstruction. • Achieved 62% lower RMSE than kriging by developing a distance-aware GATv2 imputation pipeline in PyTorch Geometric across 2,664 climate grid cells.

Machine Learning Engineer

Bank CenterCredit

largest bank in Central Asia

Dec 2022 — Aug 2024

Deployed voice AI, scoring, RAG, and summarization systems at a bank, automating 90% of outbound debt-collection calls and improving multiple operational and credit-scoring metrics.

• Built and deployed a customer-facing Voice AI Agent automating 90% of debt-collection outbound calls; led technical demos for partner banks that adopted the solution. • Lifted credit-scoring Gini 10-15% and KPI 5-10% by owning end-to-end ML delivery across production deployments. • Reduced live-call query resolution time 30-50% with a LangGraph RAG agent used by 250+ operators bank-wide. • Cut manual document-review time 25-45% by productionizing an LLM summarization agent across high-volume internal flows.

Data Science Intern

Kazakhtelecom

largest telecom operator in Central Asia

Jun 2022 — Dec 2022

Built churn and customer-profiling analyses that reduced churn 8% and supported campaigns with 15% higher response rates.

• Reduced customer churn 8% by building a decision tree on 120K+ records to identify the top five churn drivers. • Engineered customer-profiling datasets in BigQuery SQL, enabling campaigns that increased response rates 15%.
