Experience & skills

Backend and infrastructure for a US-based fintech, and the open-source libraries that grew out of the work.

• Designing payment, authentication, and session-security systems.
• Authoring open libraries: unipay-uz, fastapi-passkeys, fastapi-trusted-devices.

Led backend engineering for a high-traffic, AI-powered education ecosystem (soff.uz, soffia.uz, soffcrm.uz) — and mentored the team while doing it.

• Designed scalable backend architecture and APIs with Django, FastAPI, Redis, and PostgreSQL for a high-load platform serving thousands of users.
• Built AI-powered automation and educational content-generation services (presentations, papers, tests) — including STT/TTS and NLP pipelines.
• Mentored and managed two junior developers — owning their growth, code quality, and day-to-day delivery.
• Optimised backend infrastructure for high-load and real-time services.

Backend systems in Python and Django, with AI models integrated into production products (the TANA healthcare platform).

• Built a FastAPI WebSocket microservice for real-time patient queue management (TANA Health), decoupled from the Django monolith.
• Integrated AI/NLP models for automatic tagging and smarter search (TANA Clinics).
• Collaborated with cross-functional and AI/ML teams to ship high-quality software.

Backend solutions in Python and Django with a focus on performance.

• Implemented APIs and integrated third-party services.
• Used Docker, Redis, and Celery to improve system performance.

Backend services across a range of client projects — real estate, automotive, hospitality — most shipped end to end.

• Developed and optimised backend services; tuned PostgreSQL performance.
• Shipped real-world products: Evolution Motors, Leapmotor CA, HighTownCity.uz, Hologorod.
• Version control with Git; containerisation with Docker.

First production ground. Learned that shipping is a discipline, not an event.

• Designed and developed backend solutions for client projects.
• Integrated external APIs and collaborated closely with frontend developers.

Python programming, advanced Python, database management, API development, and backend projects.
