Experience

Work History

TreeRoute

Technical Co-Founder

New York / Remote

Mar 2026 – PresentCurrent
  • Won Google Build With AI Hackathon 2026 at NYU Tandon and continued development of the winning route-planning product into a production-ready AI application.
  • Built a Gemini 2.5 Flash agent with tool-calling across 4 real-time APIs (Maps, Routes, Pollen, Weather) and integrated NYC tree census data for grounded recommendations.
  • Led end-to-end AI product development, owning agent architecture, backend infrastructure, and production integration.

University of Delaware

Research Assistant

Newark, Delaware

Aug 2024 – PresentCurrent
  • Developed and optimized a distance-aware GATv2 imputation pipeline in PyTorch Geometric for CMIP6 climate data, achieving 62% lower RMSE vs kriging (0.144K vs 0.378K) across 2,664 grid cells.
  • Ran ablation experiments across 9 GATv2 architectures, narrowing the gap to GraphEM to 1% and identifying land-ocean features and multi-head attention as the most impactful design choices.
  • Optimized GPU inference to reduce runtime from 3,745s to 1.06s per ensemble, enabling near-real-time climate reconstruction.

Bank CenterCredit

Machine Learning Engineer

Almaty, Kazakhstan

Dec 2022 – Aug 2024
  • Lifted 10–15% Gini and 5–10% KPI by owning end-to-end ML product delivery — scoping, feature engineering, training, validation, and production deployment of credit scoring systems.
  • Cut 40–60% ML iteration time by building an automated pipeline (Python, SQL, LightGBM, SHAP, Airflow) from raw data to monitored production models.
  • Shipped a multi-agent LangChain system with tool-augmented retrieval that reduced call center knowledge lookup time by 30–50%; deployed as an internal product used daily by staff.
  • Reduced 25–45% manual review time by productionizing an LLM document summarization agent over high-volume internal document flows.

Kazakhtelecom

Data Science Intern

Almaty, Kazakhstan

Jun 2022 – Dec 2022
  • Built a decision tree model on 120K+ customer records to identify the top 5 drivers of churn, informing retention actions that reduced customer churn by 8%.
  • Built customer profiling datasets in SQL by joining production tables and engineering segmentation features for targeted marketing campaigns.
