Experience

ML Engineer

Zypl.ai

R&D Lab with a focus on outlier-resistant AI applications in finance, government and education.

Sep 2025 — Present

Adapted LLMs for Tajik with UNICEF, building training, deployment, and evaluation pipelines.

• Worked on Project SoroLLM in collaboration with UNICEF, adapting large language models to low-resource Tajik and implementing an end-to-end LLM training pipeline with continued pretraining using LoRA, instruction fine-tuning, and Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). • Built text filtering and cleaning pipelines and generated synthetic data using proprietary and open-source LLMs. • Set up, maintained, and monitored training infrastructure on AWS SageMaker and an on-premise server with 8xH200 GPUs.

AI Engineer

TWS Labs (AiXpert)

B2B AI-driven Legal Compliance System for Russian Enterprises.

Sep 2024 — Sep 2025

Built legal RAG and evaluation systems; improved embedding-model MAP by 20.6%.

• Built a knowledge base of 200k+ Russian legislative documents and case law, comprising 3M+ chunks in Qdrant Vector DB, enriched with metadata for search and filtering. • Implemented a legal assistant workflow that retrieves legislation and case law through multiple steps with corrective reasoning, using LangChain, LangGraph, Qdrant, and LLaMA 3. • Trained a legal-document embedding model on synthetic triplets, improving MAP by 20.6% on a ranking benchmark.

ML Engineer

Relog.ai

Transport management system provider specializing in last-mile logistics.

Mar 2024 — Dec 2024

Built a Text-to-SQL copilot that saved approximately 182.6 analyst-hours per month, plus data pipelines and a traffic model.

• Developed an in-house Text-to-SQL AI copilot for analysts using RAG, tool-calling, and LLaMA 2, reducing BI report delivery time and routine queries and saving approximately 182.6 analyst-hours per month. • Built data pipelines integrating CRM data from Bitrix24 to Power BI. • Built a baseline model for Almaty road-graph traffic density, combining time series, LISA, and supervised ML to forecast edge congestion.

Junior Data Scientist

AI Flow LTD

Consulting company delivering data-driven solutions in BI.

Aug 2023 — Dec 2023

Contributed to churn modeling and built ETL, data-quality, and drift-detection frameworks.

• Contributed to a churn-prediction model using LightGBM, Polars, SQL, Optuna, and MLflow to support targeted marketing strategies for a client. • Implemented ETL pipelines with Python, dbt, and Apache Airflow for data-driven decision making. • Built automated data-quality and drift-detection frameworks for ML inference using Great Expectations, Pandas, and SciPy statistical tests.

Selected projects

Learn2slither - RL agent for Snake game with Q-learning

This project trains a snake agent using Q-learning, a value-based reinforcement learning algorithm. The snake learns optimal behavior by interacting with its environment and receiving rewards/penalties for its actions. Part of 42 Advanced core curriculum

EEG-based Brain-Computer Interface

Implemented a brain-computer interface that decodes imagined movements from EEG brain signals using Common Spatial Pattern dimensionality reduction and an LDA classifier, as part of the 42 School Advanced Core curriculum. The system processes raw EEG data and classifies motor imagery tasks (moving right or left hand, moving hands or feet).

Image Captioning System (image2text)

An image captioning model is an artificial intelligence system designed to automatically generate textual descriptions for images. It integrates elements of computer vision to interpret visual content and natural language processing to formulate coherent sentences.

Genes Expression Analysis with Dimensional Reduction

The project aims to delve into high-dimensional genetic data to extract critical insights regarding the genes that have the most significant impact on various cancer types. During analysis, t-SNE and statistical tests were used to identify the most valuable genes.

Credit Scoring Model for Home Credit Bank

This repository contains a machine learning model developed for the Home Credit Default Risk competition on Kaggle. The challenge involves predicting the repayment abilities of applicants seeking loans.

Minishell

Implemented a simplified UNIX shell in C with support for command parsing, pipes, redirections, environment variables, and signal handling.
