Tactile Lab (Nazarbayev University)
2019-now
I worked here full-time for two years and part-time for what feels like a million.
After diving into ROS, SolidWorks, Python, TCP/IP protocols, signal processing, rubber properties, and the nuances of tactile feedback, we managed to publish a scientific paper on Tactile Teleoperation in Virtual Reality.
It was published in IEEE Transactions on Robotics (top 5% of journals).

I was hired here as a Java backend developer.
With almost no prior experience in Java or backend development, I managed to get up to speed and contribute to the development of a national OFD (Fiscal Data Operator).
Along the way, I gained experience with Spring, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, and a bunch of other web tools. I also got familiar with the e-government gateway and different methods of data exchange with it.

Some time later, life brought me back to robotics. I found a new passion in 3D scanning.
Using Python, a bit of C++, and a lot of dedication, I developed software for detecting and precisely locating metal parts so that a robot could pick them up and weld them together.
A year later, I moved to the motion planning team, where we rewrote all the robot movement algorithms and helped deploy the system for our first international client.
Along the way, I got familiar with MongoDB, became best friends with Docker, and got on a first-name basis with Linux.

A team of Tactile Lab alumni took on the challenge of a warehouse robotics project.
Here, I had to work at the intersection of frontend, backend, robotics software, client system integrations, and server deployment.
The system itself automates inventory flow management in warehouses, making operations more efficient and streamlined.

I founded an outsourcing company.
Right now, we're developing vehicle monitoring software for PSI company. The whole team works remotely, so there are no group photos—but you can enjoy our software, packed with test data.
My responsibilities include client negotiations and server maintenance.
