Résumé

Ilya Asminkin

Full-stack product engineer

I take web products from design through deployment and keep them running. Writing software since 2009, when it was C++ and C#/.NET data-collection applications used by field teams across Uzbekistan; today it is Next.js, Node and PostgreSQL, self-hosted on infrastructure I administer myself. Strongest on the work most contractors avoid: inheriting a half-built codebase and getting it to production.

Let’s build something useful.

Experience

2020 — Present

Independent Product Engineer

Self-employed · Tashkent

Design, build, deploy and operate complete web products end to end, with selected projects listed below. Front end, API, database schema, auth, payments, infrastructure and uptime. Solo on most, alongside a small team where the project calls for it.
Standard stack is Next.js, React and TypeScript over Node/Express and PostgreSQL, containerised with Docker and self-hosted behind nginx, Caddy and Cloudflare on servers I administer.
Built multi-tenant SaaS with tenant-scoped data access, real-time availability and booking engines, payment integration, and multi-language products serving Russian, Uzbek and English users.
Shipped two production LLM products — document-analysis pipelines with structured, checkable output rather than raw model responses, plus the evaluation and data plumbing that makes them reliable.
Regular work includes taking over half-finished codebases: auditing them, stabilising them and getting them to production.

2025 — Present

Data Analytics & IT Specialist

INDEX Consulting Agency · Tashkent

Lead data management, statistical analysis and IT delivery across consulting engagements for public institutions, donor organisations and private clients.

2009 — 2015

Researcher & Data Systems Developer

TAHLIL Center for Social Research, Center for Economic Research, IFMR · Tashkent

Built Windows data-entry and reporting applications in C++ Builder and C#/.NET used by field teams across Uzbekistan — the first software of mine that other people depended on daily.
Designed and maintained relational databases for large-scale public-health and social monitoring programmes, including Global Fund (malaria elimination) and UNICEF (child poverty) studies.
Implemented data-cleaning pipelines and quality-control checks, and computed the monitoring indicators reported to international partners and government counterparts.
Contributed to national reform projects with UNDP, UNICEF, the World Bank and ADB: instrument design, sampling, large survey dataset management and statistical analysis.

2015 — 2020

Teaching Assistant & Course Instructor

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign · Illinois, USA

Taught Introduction to Sociology and statistics / data-analysis courses for 2nd–4th year undergraduates; built curricula and led discussion sections.
