Full-stack product engineer

## Ilya Asminkin.

I'm a **full-stack product engineer** in Tashkent. I take web products from design through deployment and keep them running — booking platforms like [PlaySport](https://playsport.uz/), multi-tenant SaaS like [RentTools](https://renttools.io/), and AI products like [Perevu](https://perevu.io/). Most of my work is inheriting a half-built codebase and getting it to production.

02 / A little about me

### Away from the screen.

Two kids, a snowboard I don't get on nearly often enough, and a habit of working from wherever I happen to be. The laptop has been open on a car dashboard on a tropical road, on a beach at sunset, and courtside at a padel club — which is roughly how [playpadel.uz](https://playpadel.uz/) started.

None of that is a lifestyle claim. It's the reason I work async and in writing: across time zones and a family schedule, it's the only thing that actually holds up.

03 / The tools behind the work

### An idea is just the beginning.

The stack changes with the task. I work across the interface, the data and the infrastructure that keeps it all running.

Frontend

The tools I use to build clear, responsive interfaces.

Next.js React TypeScript JavaScript Tailwind HTML/CSS

Backend

APIs, auth, payments — the parts that get expensive to fix later.

Node.js Express Python FastAPI Prisma Stripe

Data

Schema first. Most product pain is a data-model decision made too early.

PostgreSQL Redis SQLite MongoDB

Infrastructure

I run my own servers, so uptime is mine rather than someone else's problem.

Docker nginx Caddy Cloudflare Linux CI/CD

AI

Two of the products run on it. The hard part is the pipeline, not the prompt.

Anthropic Claude RAG pipelines

Let’s make something useful

### Have something half-built, or not built yet?

Send me what you have — a repo, a brief, or a paragraph describing the mess. You'll get an honest answer about whether it needs finishing, fixing or restarting, and what that actually takes.
