AI SCIENTIST-ENGINEER · INDEPENDENT RESEARCHER
Independent researcher with 20 years of cross-domain work across 7 scientific disciplines. Founder of ONTO Standards Council. Built the epistemic discipline standard for AI — from research to production.
📞 Available for video call · In-person meeting

Background

20 years of independent cross-domain research — mathematics, epistemology, medicine, law, physics, cybersecurity, biology — produced a knowledge system that became the foundation for ONTO: the epistemic discipline standard for AI. Every component — research, engineering, deployment — built by one person.

Output: 12 published research reports · open-source scoring engine (993 lines, reproducible) · 22+ models evaluated across 5 domains · cited in government tender documents for 9 countries.

EDUCATION
Self-directed research program
No formal AI/ML programs existed in Central Asia when this research began (2005). 20 years of independent study across mathematics, epistemology, medicine, law, physics, cybersecurity, biology. Equivalent output: 12 published reports, open-source scoring engine, peer-verifiable methodology adopted in government tender documentation across 9 countries.

TIMELINE
2005–2015
Research Foundations
Self-directed cross-domain research. Mathematics, epistemology, philosophy of science. No AI/ML programs existed in Central Asia.
2015–2023
Formalization
R1-R7 epistemic discipline framework. Cross-verified across 7 scientific domains. Corpus construction: 169 files, ~900K tokens.
2020–2023
Discovery
Loaded corpus into AI — models changed. Started citing sources, saying "I don't know." Without modification. GOLD Core was born.
2023–2024
Engineering
Scoring Engine v3 (Python). onto_core (Rust). FastAPI backend. API, proxy, auth, billing. Ed25519 proof chain.
2024–2025
Validation & Launch
22+ models evaluated. 12 reports published. Agent v5. Dashboard. 5 production websites. R8-R16 cognitive architecture (Human AI protocol). IT Park residency.
2026
Production & Global Outreach
ONTO production-ready. Government tenders to 9 countries. Venture applications. AI Alliance UZ member.
