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.
- Design and maintain structured databases with data-quality and validation controls; build the pipelines that turn raw administrative and survey data into dashboards and reporting.

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.
- Trained students in applied statistical computing (SPSS, Stata) — years of practice explaining technical material to people who do not share your vocabulary, which is most of what client work asks for.
