I am a Machine Learning Engineer with a background in applied mathematics and a decade-plus career spanning banking analytics, insurtech, and enterprise consulting. As a specialist career-change professional, I focus on helping UK-market engineers and analysts move into production ML roles — balancing rigorous technical delivery with human-centred mentoring. I work independently, communicate with enthusiasm, and draw on cultural roots from the Kazakh steppe (I often mention the calm of Nauryz tea breaks) to keep teams grounded when solving complex problems. Driven by problem-solving, I pair practical model-building with systems thinking and clear career guidance.
