Summary
I began by participating in an international workshop on Lab-on-a-Chip and Nano Laboratory Technologies in Ankara, Turkey, followed by presenting at the 8th International Technical Conference on Electronics and Computer Technologies in Almaty, Kazakhstan, where I showcased early robotics research. Afterward, I worked as a Technical Director at a security systems company, managing alarm and surveillance system implementations. I then completed two FPGA-based hardware acceleration projects: one for regex processing in Big Data, and another for designing an eMMC Host Controller using Vivado on the Epiphany chip. Later, I advanced from junior staff to Vice Manager of the Bishkek branch of a logistics company, leading teams in fleet management, safety, compliance, and accounting.
