Profile

I have 4 years of frontend experience building production web applications with React and Next.js, and hands-on backend experience - REST APIs, databases and deployment. Alongside software engineering I work on AI research. My main interest is NLP for low-resource languages: the Turkic family, such as Azerbaijani, and the West Slavic group, such as Slovak and Czech.
