What I'm looking for

I'm available remotely as a B2B contractor and focused on building and leading scalable backend systems, event-driven platforms, and reliable delivery processes for complex products.

At AWWCOR, I own 95 Node.js and TypeScript services supporting clinical-trial data ingestion, validation, and transformation for pharmaceutical regulatory submissions, including files up to 100 GB.

I've standardized OpenAPI contracts and typed event schemas, moved long-running jobs from Lambda to EC2, and consolidated 95 repositories into a shared monorepo. I also built CI/CD automation that reduced releases from weeks to one or two days.

I led security remediation to eliminate 77 critical and 1,331 high-severity vulnerabilities, unified testing with Jest to raise coverage from under 10% to over 70%, and regularly support a team through PR reviews and onboarding.

In parallel at Almaty Kitap, I designed a collaborative textbook authoring platform from zero, including its CRDT document model, real-time collaboration, canvas rendering, versioning, and storage. I lead a three-person team taking the product through internal testing toward production rollout.
