SOFTWARE ENGINEER · BOSTON, MA

Hello, I’m
Askarali.

I work on backend systems, data, and applied AI.

I’m from Astana, Kazakhstan, and now based in Boston. I enjoy the mix of thoughtful engineering and experimentation—whether that means building a service, exploring a new idea, or learning from the details along the way.

OPEN SOURCE / RUST CLI · OPENAPI

A local history for API contracts, with clear explanations of what changed.

Give it an OpenAPI JSON file, a FastAPI app, or a schema export command. Docket saves a browsable snapshot of endpoints and models, then compares saved, working, or proposed versions. Its reports explain structural changes and compatibility findings for people, coding agents, and CI.

  1. 01 / INPUT OpenAPI source JSON · FastAPI · exporter
  2. 02 / CAPTURE Local snapshot Endpoints, models, history
  3. 03 / COMPARE Contract changes Structure + compatibility
  4. 04 / EXPLAIN Reports & CI Readable and machine friendly

Find particular words in audio, and see roughly when each was spoken.

Give it a glossary and an audio file, or record in the demo. It marks strong and possible matches on a waveform without producing a full transcript. The parts that turn terms and speech into comparable patterns are swappable, and the built-in options run locally.
