Backend developer & platform engineer
I write Python and Django backends and run the production they live on: the billing and video of a streaming service, e-learning platforms, museum systems — and a fleet of ~100 servers with Proxmox, S3, monitoring and GPU nodes for LLMs.
01 · About
I am a Python and Django backend developer and, at the same time, the engineer who owns production end to end. I have been coding since 2019. Since 2022 I have been running the backend of the SPlay streaming service — first at the Sevimli media group, and since 2024 at Intersoft tech, where today I own the server side of the company's key products and all of its infrastructure — from hardware and hypervisors to CI/CD, monitoring and GPU servers for language models. Part-time, I am also a chief specialist at the Centre of Islamic Civilization.
I care about systems that run without me: a clear architecture, tests, one-command deploys with rollback by tag, monitoring with alerts, written runbooks and incident post-mortems. That is why I wrote my own django-template — every new backend project of the company is now built on it. Now the team is moving to full-stack development, and for that I am building project-template: backend and frontend in one project that is ready to ship to a Kubernetes cluster from day one.
Born in Samarkand, living in Tashkent. Russian is my native language, English intermediate.
APIs for web and mobile apps, billing and payments, background jobs, multilingual content.
Hardware, hypervisors, network, storage and code delivery for every product of the company.
The video pipeline of a streaming service and of e-learning platforms.
GPU servers and language models behind the AI features of our products.
I learn about a problem before the users do — and write down why it happened.
The templates and rules the team writes and ships code by.
02 · Infrastructure
Every server of the company is in my area: I build, maintain and monitor the hardware, the virtualisation, the network, storage and delivery that all of our products run on.
10 physical Proxmox VE hypervisors on four sites: HPE, Dell, Gigabyte, Huawei.
Every site sits behind its own SSH bastion; devices behind NAT are reached via reverse tunnels.
9 nginx edge proxies, ~400 domains, Let's Encrypt certificates issued automatically.
Servers never build code: CI builds the image, the server only pulls it and restarts.
MinIO object storage on several sites and dozens of databases.
Metrics, logs and alerts across the fleet — plus my own status page with project passports.
Video storage and delivery, GPU encoding, live channels and video calls.
Two servers for language models, image and video generation, speech recognition and synthesis.
