AI Engineer At Gaide (Amsterdam) Building AI Pipelines For ClientsData Science Working-student Role At Robeco (asset Manager) Building Topic-modeling And AI-scraping ToolsIMO 2020 Honorable Mention For Kyrgyzstan; Co-authored A BNAIC/BeNeLearn 2025 Thesis Abstract On Semantic Search Over Olympiad Math Problems

- I love to build things: software, little game plug-ins, or school assignments in a reusable format. <br>- Some things I built: Topic modeling pipeline for Robeco; AI Powered Web Scraping tool for Robeco.<br>- In school, I did competitive mathematics. I represented Kyrgyzstan at the International Math Olympiad in 2020 and 2021, reaching an Honorable Mention in 2021. <br>- Currently I am looking for opportunities to gain more experience in AI broadly.

Notes
  • Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Identity is supported (LinkedIn profile erbol-esengulov-221a0125b with an olympiad background matching IMO 2020/2021 for Kyrgyzstan, and Gaide's own company blog naming him). Employment evidence: an actual Data Science Intern / working-student role at Robeco (Rotterdam), 2024-03 to 2025-08, self-reported in a dated LinkedIn post ('starting a new position as Working Student at Robeco', Apr 2024) and corroborated by Gaide's blog stating he 'worked at Robeco'. Employer classification: Robeco (robeco.com) is a pure-play international asset manager (Rotterdam, ~EUR 337bn AUM, ~EUR 109bn run on quant models per the company index), i.e. quantitative investment management, which the brief counts; however it is an asset manager, not a bank, hedge fund or market-maker, and the role was data science rather than a quant-research or trading-desk seat. No role at any trading, market-making, hedge-fund or systematic-trading firm was found. Index-only claim (not independent primary confirmation): the local index lists the role as 'Data Science Intern, 2024-2025'.Apr 2024
  • Index-only: local profile index (person_id 1157271135) lists current role as AI Engineer at Gaide (gaideme.com / gaide.nl), Amsterdam, 2025-present; not an independent primary-source confirmation.Sep 3, 2026
  • Index lists a Data Science Intern / working-student role at Robeco (Rotterdam), 2024-2025; Robeco is an asset manager (robeco.com), so this is an asset-management data role, not a trading desk.Mar 2024
  • Represented Kyrgyzstan at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 2020 and 2021, earning an Honorable Mention in 2021 (per his own LinkedIn summary).
  • Gaide's own company blog (Nov 14, 2025) confirms Erbol Esengulov works as an AI Engineer at Gaide and previously worked at Robeco, where he built AI tools - employer-side primary confirmation of both roles.Nov 14, 2025
  • Co-authored 'Semantic Search in Olympiad Math Problems' with Filip Ilievski (2025), on retrieving math problems by reasoning structure rather than surface features.
  • Attended the math/informatics-specialized school No. 61 in Bishkek (УК АФМШЛ №61) 2014-2021; won a bronze medal at the 2021 Zhautykov International Olympiad in mathematics.
