I am an engineering leader with over 10 years of experience building and scaling backend systems, distributed infrastructure, and AI/ML platforms. Currently, I serve as the Chief Technology Officer at Perfect Systems, where I oversee more than 100 microservices across an internal super-app and enterprise outsourcing projects serving major companies in Kazakhstan. My role involves managing technical direction, engineering organizational health, and infrastructure economics while leading multiple engineering teams.
Throughout my career, I have led significant migrations to Golang at top global traffic sites and architected both bare-metal and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters. I have extensive experience shipping production AI systems, including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Model-Centric Platforms (MCP) integrations, recommendation engines, and large language model-powered assistants. I am equally effective as a hands-on individual contributor and as a technical leader managing cross-functional teams.
My expertise spans computer science fundamentals such as distributed systems, system design, concurrency, scalability, and networking. I am proficient in cloud platforms, primarily Google Cloud Platform, and have hands-on experience with Kubernetes, Docker, Helm, and infrastructure as code tools like Terraform and Ansible. I have a strong focus on observability and reliability using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK stack, and New Relic, ensuring robust production operations and incident response.
I have led backend development and platform engineering for complex microservices architectures, integrating AI features using Vertex AI and OpenAI APIs. My work includes optimizing databases at scale, building event-driven systems with RabbitMQ and Kafka, and implementing FinOps practices to optimize cloud spending. I am passionate about building scalable, reliable, and cost-effective systems while fostering career growth and development within engineering teams.
I have worked internationally, including roles in Kazakhstan, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Serbia, and more. My experience includes contract and leadership roles where I have driven technical debt reduction, product feature delivery, and architectural modernization. I am continuously learning and adapting to new technologies and challenges, striving to deliver impactful engineering solutions.
I am motivated by solving complex problems at scale and enjoy collaborating closely with product teams and executives to align technical priorities with business goals. Despite my leadership responsibilities, I remain hands-on with coding and architecture reviews, ensuring technical excellence and innovation across all projects.
