Hi, I'm Ilnar, a computational linguist / natural language processing developer with over 7 years of experience. I have an M.Sc. degree in Computational Linguistics from Stuttgart University. Competencies =========== - Programming Languages: Python, Racket, Clojure, Bash, SQL. - Infrastructure: Azure ML, ONNX Runtime, Google Firebase, Terraform. - ML libraries: NLTK, Spacy, Scikit-learn, Pandas, HF Transformers, HF Optimum. - Web scraping: Requests, Selenium, BeautifulSoup. - Web frameworks: FastAPI, Flask. - Packaging & Deployment: Pyinstaller, Docker, GNU/Make. - Rule-based NLP: HFST, VISL CG-3, Apertium, LFG/XLE. - Operating systems: Ubuntu GNU/Linux. - Version Control: Git, Subversion. Most proficient in Python, but also have used Racket and Clojure for building static websites and prototyping desktop GUIs. What I can do for you ================ - Natural language processing with NLTK, Spacy or Huggingface Transformers. = Can train or fine-tune an NLP model. - Write code in Python. = Can build a REST API using FastApi or Flask. - Convert models, e.g. models available on Huggingface Hub, into ONNX format, optimizing & quantizing them for specific hardware using Huggingface Optimum. = So that you don't waste money on infrastructure costs. - MLOps: deploying and operating those models on Microsoft Azure ML. = So that you don't have to. - Scrape the web using Python or Clojure. = Can assemble a dataset, if there isn't one already for your needs. - Can annotate texts with linguistic information, often in a semi-automatic way, using rule-based frameworks or semi-supervised methods. = So that you can train your models. - Fine-tune an OpenAI model via its API. = So that you don't have to train anything. - Prompt engineering: Chatgpt, Claude, Gemini etc. = Profit! Experience ========= Most recently, I have worked with ProWritingAid, a writing assistant software that helps millions of users improve their writing skills and communication and be great at storytelling. At ProWritingAid, I was responsible for training, evaluating, fine-tuning, optimizing, and deploying NLP models on Azure ML, using libraries such as Huggingface Transformers, Huggingface Optimum, and ONNX Runtime. I also collected, documented, and scraped text datasets, and used Large Language Models such as ChatGPT and Claude 2 for data generation and labeling. Some of the projects I worked on included tone analysis, paraphrasing, and grammar & style checking. I used Python as my main programming language, and collaborated with a diverse and talented team of researchers and developers. Before ProWritingAid, I built language corpora, morphological analysis and generation tools, parts-of-speech taggers, dependency parsers, machine translators, and speech recognition systems [2]. While in Stuttgart, I have written a Statistical, Transition-based Dependency Parser [1] and a Statistical Parts-of-Speech Tagger from scratch. As for human languages, I'm proficient in English, German, Russian and Tatar, and conversant in Turkish and Kazakh. In my free time I contribute to localization of free/libre software and various educational sites like Khan Academy into my native language (Tatar). That work is showcased on selimcan.org.

I help founders and operators build practical AI second brains. I connect agents to the places your real business lives: Gmail, Google Drive, WhatsApp, Discord, PDFs, spreadsheets, notes, and messy folders. Then I turn that context into searchable memory, CRM-style records, and workflows that help you retrieve facts, draft replies, track relationships, and take action. 25+ years in distributed systems, data platforms, cloud, blockchain, DeFi, and startup engineering. I build agentic systems that are useful in the real world, not generic chatbot demos.

• Highly skilled technical lead with over twenty years of software development experience. • Expert in AI adoption with the use of Claude Code, Cursor, LLM, and advanced agentic AI technologies to enhance development efficiency, reduce manual effort, and accelerate project execution. • Expert in financial services, investment banking, mobile, media, and insurance, and delivered solutions across multiple asset classes. • Skills include hands-on development, agile business analysis, backlog management, business and functional requirements gathering, gap analysis, functional solution design, planning, estimation, and implementation. • Delivered Cloud-based solutions using AWS/Azure/GCP using Kubernetes and OpenShift. • Full-stack expertise and demonstrated strong capability in implementing server-side, Web, database, ETL/ELT, and data warehousing • Technical skills including Typescript, ReactJS, Python, MUI, UI/UX, Angular, .Net, SQL, Figma, C# and Python technologies

I am a polyglot programmer confident in most areas, but will highlight my extensive experience in REST/HTTP API creation most. I have experience with MVC's such as rails, django, and flask. A recent project at time of writing is a concurrent and parallel api written in Golang. I also specialize in functional programming with languages such as Haskell, Ocaml, and Clojure. For organizations fit for it, functional programming helps leverage technology to its fullest extent to multiply customer value and long-term sustainability. If your organization fits this description, feel free to contact me.

I build production-grade RAG and LLM-agent systems: document Q&A that stays grounded and doesn't hallucinate, multi-tenant retrieval with per-tenant isolation, and Python backends that hold up under real load. I'm a senior systems engineer with 6+ years building production software — including a payment engine and event-driven, distributed fintech infrastructure. I now apply that same rigor to AI: clean retrieval pipelines, sane chunking and embeddings, and agents that are actually reliable instead of demo-ware. What I build: - RAG pipelines — ingestion, chunking, embeddings, semantic retrieval over Qdrant / Pinecone / pgvector, grounded answers with citations - LLM agents & orchestration — LangChain / LangGraph, tool use, multi-step workflows, MCP servers - Production backends — Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Docker; OpenAI and Anthropic Claude APIs - Data & automation pipelines — large-scale extraction, structured output from messy sources Recent work (in portfolio): a multi-tenant RAG document-Q&A platform with isolated vector collections per client, and a large-scale data-extraction/monitoring pipeline. I'm direct, I scope tightly, and I care more about retrieval quality and a maintainable system than about a flashy demo. If your RAG is returning weak answers or your agent breaks silently, that's exactly the kind of problem I fix.

I am very resourceful in delivering end-to-end applications using best-in-class tools and best practices in software engineering and cloud engineering. My tech stack includes; Programming Languages: Java [Spring Framework], Python [Django] and Clojure (Learning) Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB API: GraphQL, REST Infrastructure: GCP, Terraform, Linux, GitHub Tools I Use: Intellij, Claude Code, Cursor, VSCode, Antigravity and Codex I am flexible with learning new skills which might apply to your project. I am both interested in green-field and existing projects, short-term or long-term.

I am a seasoned software engineer with over 13 years of diverse experience in product systems, compilers, and game development. Recently, I architected the React page editor and edge SSR pipeline for a leading sales funnel platform, optimizing global performance with a TTFB of around 200ms. I founded a game development studio focused on innovative projects and am currently developing a compiled template language aimed at edge-first rendering. My skill set spans C/C++ engines to React frontends and edge runtimes, allowing me to tackle complex challenges with ease. If you need a strategic problem-solver who can deliver efficient, high-quality software solutions, let’s connect and discuss how I can contribute to your project.
