Senior🎓
Top SchoolSanzhar Aubakirov is a seasoned innovation leader and technologist with 13 years of experience turning deep tech and academic research into market-ready products across AI, IoT, smart mobility, and national-scale public systems. As Chief Innovation Officer at Innoforce and former CTO, he blends hands-on engineering (Java, Scala, Linux, functional paradigms) with systems thinking to lead cross-functional teams, launch ventures, and invest in startups. He holds a PhD in Computer Science and has a strong academic track record—lecturing, supervising PhD students, and designing curricula—yet he remains an active coder and mentor. Known for pragmatic frugality and a focus on business models, he architects cloud-native platforms and previously led payment and transit systems at scale. A less obvious strength is his ability to translate university research into commercial ventures, forging collaborations that move structured knowledge from lab to market.
