Full-stack engineer with 5+ years of commercial experience, Go as my primary backend language throughout. I build products end to end — architecture, API, database, frontend, deployment — and I actually run what I build in production.

I independently designed and operate tugo.kz, a classifieds and local-services marketplace: Go (chi, pgx, goose), PostgreSQL + PostGIS for geo-search, REST API, JWT, deployed in Docker behind Cloudflare with monitoring and backups. Currently also Lead Developer on a B2B medical-exam platform (Python/FastAPI async, async SQLAlchemy, Celery over RabbitMQ, an RBAC system I designed and shipped).

I lean toward clean, lightweight architecture over heavy frameworks, care about correctness and long-term maintainability, and use AI agents (Claude Code) as an integral part of my daily workflow. Strong with PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka/RabbitMQ, gRPC, and React/TypeScript on the frontend.

What I'm looking for: a fully remote backend or full-stack role (Go or Python), ideally contract/B2B — I'm registered as a sole proprietor in Kazakhstan, which makes international contracting straightforward. Based in Almaty (UTC+5), with good overlap for European and Middle East teams.
