Python backend engineer — Tashkent

I build the part that has to keep working.

Four years of Python and Django in production — marketplaces, booking platforms and real-time systems. I take a service from schema to deploy, then keep it running.

Systems I designed and shipped

Kigo

Backend lead · equity

A booking and tournament platform for sports clubs — reservations, club management, tournament brackets, bar tabs, CRM and reporting, plus two Telegram bots for player support and live tournament flow. I designed the domain model and API surface; the team works from a published OpenAPI spec on a reviewed pull-request workflow.

Lapka

Sole engineer

A pet-supplies marketplace living entirely inside Telegram. Customers order from a Mini App, shops run their own catalogue from a web dashboard, and couriers are dispatched through Yandex Delivery. Permissions are data-driven rather than hard-coded, so a new staff role is a row and not a deploy.

SYNAPSSE

Creator · open source, MIT

A local-first memory graph for AI agents. An async Python daemon over embedded SQLite exposes itself through the Model Context Protocol and renders the resulting graph as an interactive WebGL canvas. Retrieval is hybrid — FTS5 keyword search alongside vector similarity from ONNX embeddings running locally — so recall costs a fraction of replaying a transcript, and nothing leaves the machine.

Freight load board

Sole engineer

An end-to-end system for USPS contract couriers. Scrapers pull load bids, deduplicate against a Redis-backed seen-set, publish to a Telegram channel within seconds, and push over WebSockets to a live board. Runs in Docker behind nginx with certificate renewal automated — the part of a side project that usually rots.

Sivi

Sole engineer

An AI career assistant for the Uzbek job market, delivered through Telegram. It builds and enhances resumes and exports them as PDF in three languages, then matches them to vacancies by pgvector cosine similarity over an HNSW index. A Celery fleet aggregates ten job platforms and seventeen Telegram channels on a rolling schedule, behind subscriptions and pay-per-use credits settled through Click.

Visual builder for scripted AI call operators

Self-initiated · sole engineer

After leaving Cybernet AI I built the tool I thought the industry needed: flows for scripted AI call operators composed on a node canvas — intents, audio, conditions, code — then validated and deployed to servers from the same interface. It replaced a hand-built process, taking the work from days of manual scripting to hours with far fewer places to introduce an error. Built end to end alone and pitched to industry operators.
