Question 1

What are you looking for right now?

Accepted Answer

A full-time product engineer role. Office or hybrid in Almaty, remote in Kazakhstan, and business trips are fine. I also take scoped project work when the brief is written down.

Question 2

What do you actually build?

Accepted Answer

AI and LLM systems, web products, and the backend behind them. Recent work includes an LLM pipeline over 1,000+ B2B sales calls, AI interviewers taken from prototype to pilot, and a low-latency WebRTC platform for operating drones and robots.

Question 3

Do you write code, or manage?

Accepted Answer

Both. I have shipped as a fullstack developer, as an AI engineer, and as a product manager. On a team I take a product area and stay in the codebase.

Question 4

How do you start on something new?

Accepted Answer

A short call, then a written scope that says what gets built, in what order, and what done means. If the scope cannot be written down, that is the first problem worth solving.

Question 5

How do you know whether it worked?

Accepted Answer

With numbers agreed before the build. Conversion and unit economics on the outbound product, P95 latency and packet loss on the drone platform, data quality on the AI interviews.
