I shipped an internal CRM/ERP now in daily use at PharmGrand and interned at ISSAI.

Experience

  1. Jun 2026 – Aug 2026

    Software Developer · PharmGrand LLP

    Internal CRM/ERP for a medical equipment distributor. Kazakhstan

    • Shipped to production: used daily by the team and noticeably sped up sales and document workflows.
    • Built document generation for commercial proposals, invoices, letters and supply contracts from Word templates: 3 price tiers, KZT/USD/EUR via National Bank rates API, versioning, duplicate-safe numbering.
    • Integrated 1C:Enterprise (OData) for live warehouse stock, Beeline telephony API (call logs, recordings, missed-call queue) and in-browser barcode scanning for stock intake with serial-number tracking.
    • Implemented deny-by-default access control for 5 roles, tested on every build; byte-exact golden tests for documents.
    • Built the sales pipeline (kanban by deal stage, deal handoff, deadline notifications, snapshot-based restore, live analytics) and catalog ingestion for ~31k SKUs from 10 manufacturers with full price history.
    • Optimized board load (~10× faster) and SKU search (100×+ faster), ranking tolerant to keyboard layout and hyphens.
    • AI-assisted development with Claude Code agents in isolated git worktrees; every change reviewed and tested, every DB migration preceded by a backup and a rollback dry-run.
    • Next.js
    • TypeScript
    • Supabase
    • Vercel
