I am an engineer-mechanic by specialty and had to learn everything from scratch! Over four years, I have gone from data engineer to business analyst and BI developer.

Chолпон Orozaalieva, a business analyst and BI developer, exemplifies this narrative. She joined O! for a month-long internship while studying engineering and has since risen through the ranks over four years. Orozaalieva, who had to learn everything from scratch, now transforms vast amounts of data into understandable visual maps for the business. She also oversees the internship program she once participated in, finding fulfillment in nurturing new talent.

BI (Business Intelligence) is the ability to turn huge volumes of numbers into an understandable visual map for business. My work is not just about writing code, but about a deep understanding of colleagues' requests. I help formulate a task to offer the most effective and beautiful solution.

Kamilla Sanzharova, a leading corporate client specialist, has also grown significantly within O! since 2022. She describes her role as evolving beyond sales to becoming a "digital advisor for business," helping entrepreneurs expand using the company's latest technologies. Sanzharova highlights O!'s comprehensive B2B solutions, including connectivity, VPN, fintech services like Smart POS and "O!Kassa," and M2M infrastructure. She feels O! is at the "epicenter of the country's digital transformation."

The most pleasant thing for me today is that the circle has closed. In addition to my main tasks, I oversee the internship program – the very one I started my journey in the company with. Seeing a newcomer grow is invaluable.

Dmitry Bronnikov, head of the statistics and machine analysis department, has been with O! for 12 years. He is responsible for the systems that guide the company's decisions and trains data specialists. Bronnikov joined O! because of its emphasis on human relations and transparency over short-term profit, which he sees as integral to the company's DNA. His entry into the IT field was somewhat serendipitous, stemming from a radio communication role mentioned in his military ID.

My work has long gone beyond ordinary sales – I have become a digital advisor for business. We help entrepreneurs grow through the latest technologies.
