I build AI systems that are in production use: an AI legal assistant for lawyers in Kazakhstan, an in-game AI assistant for an MMORPG, and Git infrastructure for AI agents. Before that — four seasons of competition robotics and a published ML preprint. This page lists what I built and what exactly I did in each project.
