300krecords migrated

ERP & B2B platform for an auto-parts distributor

Problem
The whole business lived in Excel: orders, stock, invoices and finance were scattered across hundreds of sheets.
Solution
Designed and built an ERP from scratch: orders, warehouse & shipping, invoicing, BWA and cash-flow analytics, 17 access zones. Integrated TecCom, Buchhaltungsbutler, Shipcloud and Outlook, added AI invoice recognition with Claude API and a B2B shop with per-client pricing.
Result
Every order in one system, live dashboards and hours of manual work saved every day.

02Perfume retail company · Kazakhstan
120orders a day

ERP, CRM, e-shop, mobile app & smart parcel lockers

Problem
Orders got mixed up and sometimes stolen at the warehouse, and a dedicated employee was needed just to hand them out.
Solution
Migrated a legacy JS/PHP system to NestJS microservices and a React monorepo with its own UI kit. Built a ~70-cell parcel locker integrated with the ERP and online store, PIN and in-app pickup, Face ID.
Result
Thefts dropped to zero, the hand-out role is no longer needed, and the team focuses on what matters.

100+restaurants

Ordering & procurement for restaurant chains

Problem
Restaurants ordered supplies by phone and chat — no single view of what was ordered, delivered or owed.
Solution
Joined as a backend engineer, then led the product full-stack: ordering, procurement, supplier flows and reporting.
Result
A single platform that keeps 100+ restaurants stocked every day.

Production management for workshops

Problem
Workshop owners couldn't see where an order was stuck, who was overloaded or what materials were left.
Solution
As CTO: architecture and launch. Orders split into stages, each worker sees only their tasks, materials are written off automatically, roles and statuses configurable per workshop.
Result
Real-time order status for the owner, staff and the end client — plus reports on load, delays and revenue.
05Fingwin · SaaS
FIFOcost engine

Multi-tenant financial accounting platform

Problem

Solution
Sales, purchases and accounting modules, FIFO cost calculation, Wildberries marketplace integration, a Telegram bot and AI-powered features.
Result
Companies see their real margins and stock in one place, in real time.
