Afzalbek Askarov

AI Engineer

I'm an AI Engineer with a strong focus on Computer Vision and deep learning. I've trained and deployed YOLO models on GPU end-to-end, from data preprocessing to real-time inference, and built a forecasting engine from scratch in pure NumPy (R² = 0.842) because I love understanding how models work down to the math. Currently exploring multimodal AI and modern deep learning architectures.

About Me

Hi, I'm Afzalbek Askarov — a recent Computer Science graduate from Chungbuk National University, passionate about Computer Vision and Deep Learning.

What excites me most is the full lifecycle of building AI systems — from collecting and preprocessing data, to training models on GPU, to deploying them as real-world applications. That journey began with fine-tuning a YOLO-OBB object-detection model on Colab T4 and shipping it via FastAPI, where I learned how vision models behave under real-world conditions.

I prefer understanding algorithms at the math level over treating ML libraries as black boxes. That's why I built a forecasting engine from scratch using only NumPy — no scikit-learn allowed — and why I love digging into how convolutions, attention, and oriented bounding boxes actually work.

Right now I'm exploring multimodal AI, modern CV architectures, and experimenting with local LLM/RAG pipelines using LangChain + Ollama. My long-term goal is to grow into an AI Engineer who can build state-of-the-art Computer Vision systems that ship to real users.

Featured Projects

Project 01

YOLOv8-OBB Real-Time Object Detection Service

Jun 2025 — Aug 2025 · Solo

End-to-end Computer Vision pipeline: a 2-class oriented bounding-box (OBB) detector for bottles vs cans, fine-tuned on Colab T4 GPU and served externally through a FastAPI REST API.

  • Fixed dataset class imbalance — discovered a 93% / 7% bottle/can split and implemented a stratified re-split (80/10/10) from scratch
  • Fine-tuned YOLOv8-OBB — AdamW + cosine LR + mosaic/mixup augmentation → confidence 0.82–0.94 in real-world tests
  • Designed the FastAPI server — /predict (JSON) + /predict/visualize (PNG) endpoints with auto-generated Swagger docs
  • Real-time post-processing — temporal smoothing (STABILITY_FRAMES=3) + area filter to suppress false positives from webcam streams

ERP AI Predictive Analytics Microservice

Apr 2026 — Ongoing · Solo

A demand-forecasting AI microservice designed to plug into small/mid-sized ERP systems. Predicts revenue & profit at 30/60/90-day horizons and auto-generates business insights (growth rate, seasonality, margin warnings). Talks directly to a Java Spring Boot ERP via REST API.

  • Designed 8 async FastAPI REST endpoints with auto-generated Swagger / ReDoc documentation
  • Built the forecasting engine from scratch in pure NumPy — linear trend + day-of-week & monthly seasonality + holiday weights → R² = 0.842, MAE ≈ 1.18M/day
  • Automatic 80% confidence intervals (±1.28σ) — widens progressively for longer horizons
  • Java Spring Boot integration — async WebClient code with proper timeout and error handling
  • One-command Docker deployment + interactive Chart.js demo dashboard
  • Telegram bot front-end (python-telegram-bot) — users pull sales forecasts & auto-generated PDF reports straight from a chat with simple commands
▶ Live demo · Telegram bot generates a 60-day sales-forecast PDF in real time via the /bashorat command

Project 03

U-STAR · AI Music Generation & Choreography Platform

Mar 2025 — Dec 2025 · Capstone (Team of 4)

A community platform where users describe a mood, SUNO API generates the music, and OpenAI GPT classifies lyric emotion to recommend matching choreography. Capstone graduation project at Chungbuk National University (Team HEJZ, 4 members).

  • Designed the Spring Boot 3.3 REST API server — clean domain separation across Music / Dance / Community modules
  • Integrated OpenAI GPT API for lyric emotion classification with proper retry, timeout, and cost-control logic
  • Integrated SUNO API for automated music & lyric generation, with AWS S3 for persistent storage
  • Built JWT auth + MySQL 8 schema — including a like-based feed ranking algorithm
  • Collaborated with the React Native (TypeScript) client team on the REST + JWT contract
