Backend and full-stack engineer and Computer Science student at Nazarbayev University (class of 2027), based in Astana, Kazakhstan (UTC+5). I build production systems end to end, from the database schema to deployment and monitoring, and I run two of them in production today.
Looking for backend (Go), DevOps/SRE and full-stack (TypeScript/Next.js) roles and internships, remote or in Astana.
- Happy End: e-commerce platform with ~7,000 monthly users, which I develop on my own. I moved it from 1C-Bitrix to Next.js + PostgreSQL + a PHP API, with Halyk Bank online payments, analytics in BigQuery and 3,700+ automated tests.
- City news platform: a multi-tenant platform for two city portals that I built alone. Go API, PostgreSQL with row-level security and hybrid search, Kaspi Pay webhooks, CI/CD with automatic rollback, Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry.
| payhook | Payments and webhooks service in Go: idempotent API, signed webhooks, transactional outbox to NATS JetStream, retries with dead letters. Helm chart tested on kind in CI; zero failed requests during a rolling restart under load. |
| payhook-infra | Terraform for payhook on AWS: VPC, ALB + Auto Scaling, RDS, Secrets Manager, CloudWatch alarms, GitHub Actions deploys through OIDC, terraform test, tflint, Trivy. |
| MusicRoomBot | Telegram booking bot for NU's Music Room, used by ~200 students since December 2025 (slots usually fully booked). Async Python, PostgreSQL constraints and advisory locks against double booking, Alembic, CI. |
| water-meter-anomaly-detection | Anomaly detection in water-meter consumption data. |
| nuclear-morphometry | GPU pipeline for 2D/3D analysis of cell nuclei from confocal microscopy (Cellpose-SAM, PyTorch, Polars). |
