Product-minded Full-Stack Software Engineer · Almaty, Kazakhstan

I build the software small businesses actually run on.

Full-stack engineer in Almaty building mobile apps, web platforms and AI features for small businesses — from data model to App Store.

Piloting Nomi with a salon in Almaty. Running Motor Land's site and staff app for a team of ten. Built AutoCore for automotive dismantlers.

Selected work

Three products built end to end: one in a salon pilot, one used by a team of ten, one multi-platform SaaS.

  • Nomi

    In pilotMobile + Web · AI

    An AI administrator for beauty salons in Kazakhstan.

    • 1 salon in pilot, 2 more on the waitlist
    • iOS build 1.7 in TestFlight
    • Web admin + native companion app
    • Nomi chat: the owner teaches the assistant a booking rule
    • Nomi calendar showing a salon's day
    • Nomi answering which clients haven't visited in a while

    Salons run on WhatsApp, Instagram DMs and the owner's memory. Nomi reads those conversations, books against its own calendar and learns the salon's rules from a single message — “don't take clients under 18” becomes a rule it applies to every later chat.

    The AI can only act through confirmed tools, so it proposes bookings and rule changes instead of silently editing data. Multi-tenant Postgres with row-level security, a channel-first inbox, and a model gateway behind an abstraction so providers can change.

    BuiltB2B SaaS · Web, iOS, Desktop

    Operations platform for automotive dismantlers.

    • Web, Expo mobile and desktop clients on one backend
    • Mobile engine list tuned for 10,000 motors
    • Role-based access shared across all clients
    • AutoCore mobile dashboard with stock alerts, profit and revenue
    • AutoCore engine inventory list with condition grades
    • AutoCore work order with labor, parts and total

    Dismantlers track engines in spreadsheets, paper and memory. AutoCore holds serialized engine inventory, warehouse movements, work orders, PDF documents, warranties and accounting in one multi-tenant system.

    Next.js on Vercel with Firebase for auth, Firestore and PDF-generating Cloud Functions; one Expo app for the shop floor with barcode scanning; a desktop shell for the front desk. Permissions and organisation contracts live in shared packages so every client enforces the same rules.

    In useClient work · Web + Mobile

    Site, staff cabinet and mobile app for a contract-engine importer in Almaty.

    • Used by a team of about 10 people
    • Moved from a custom PHP CMS to Next.js
    • Staff sign-in with Apple, Google and e-mail

    Motor Land imports contract engines and gearboxes from Malaysia. I rebuilt the public catalogue with filtering by make, model and year, then added a staff cabinet and a mobile app for the people running the business day to day.

    In the app an AI assistant records a sale in the cash register from a chat message and shows a card with an undo button, so a mistake costs one tap.

About

I take a product from the data model to the App Store.

I design, build and deploy the whole thing: schema, API, web and mobile clients, and the interface people use all day. I care most about the decisions — what to build, what to leave out, what the AI is allowed to do on its own.

I have shipped to a real team (Motor Land), run a pilot with a real salon (Nomi), and built a multi-platform SaaS from scratch (AutoCore). Most of what I know comes from watching those break and fixing them.
