About

Started in 2014 in Makhachkala — PHP, 1C, and once migrated a two-thousand-employee company to 1C ZUP payroll. Then Rails took over everything else. Spent several years with an Italian client: back-office portals for Sicilia Outlet Village and Torino Outlet Village (tenant management, Wi-Fi auth, loyalty cards, email marketing), a food delivery and table-booking service, a city MFC portal in Bergamo, a marketing messaging platform (email/SMS/WhatsApp), and a cloud database backup startup with encryption.

Now — PSB bank, Digital Platform «Sodrujestvo». Rails monolith with a React frontend, a microservices ecosystem — course catalog, profiles, feed, comments, reactions — built on PostgreSQL, Kafka, Sidekiq, Redis, OpenTelemetry.
