CTO · Rekreate.AI
For the past four years I've worked as a technical director, and most of that time went into two things: people and pipelines.
About
I've taught dozens of students to code and grown several of them into mid and senior engineers, and I built an 11-person team inside my own startup. On the technical side we brought a RAG system up from zero — classifying terabytes of data and vectorizing it for search and worked with computer vision models, training and optimizing them ourselves to process visual content at scale. Within a single startup we analyzed millions of videos, both visually and verbally. My range runs from writing code and building human interfaces all the way to DevOps and ML. I like owning the whole path from idea to production rather than one slice of it.
How I can help
Practical experience shipping AI products to production: generative video pipelines, LLM and external API integrations, backend architecture on Python, Go and Node.js. As a former CTO I can also help with hiring, code review and technical decisions in early-stage teams. Happy to answer questions about the gap between a working prototype and a product people pay for.
Looking to connect
People who work with ML seriously — to stress-test my technical decisions and help close the theory gaps I've been filling through practice alone. I'm looking for collaborators on AI projects in Kazakhstan, applied cases from domains outside my own, and a reason to share what I've built more often than I do now.
