Alibek Kaliyev

ML Engineer @ Point72 · New York

I'm a machine learning engineer at Point72 in New York. Before that I was at AWS (2024–2026), one of the first engineers on the six-person team that built Amazon Quick Suite's conversational AI from the ground up — and earlier, analytics infrastructure for Amazon Q Business.

My background is in research: three and a half years in the Multifunctional Materials & Machine Learning Group at Lehigh University (PI: Joshua Agar), building physics-constrained neural networks for scanning-probe microscopy — published at a NeurIPS 2023 workshop and in Advanced Materials. I'm now working through a part-time MS in computer science at UT Austin, specializing in machine learning.

I grew up in Kazakhstan and speak English, Russian, and Kazakh. Outside of work, I'm a second-degree black belt.
