Expert page on banking systems and fintech project architecture — deep understanding of ABS, regulation, operational specifics of Uzbek and Central Asian banks.

Target Model

How It Should Work

Banking architecture must be built around the core (ABS) considering its real capabilities and constraints. Integration layer, product contours, anti-fraud, AML, mobile app — all rely on the core, do not try to replace it without serious cause. Every architectural decision passes verification — does it meet CBU regulatory requirements, how does it affect operational stability, what risks does it bring. Biometrics 2026 is built in architecturally, not as a separate project. Partner layer for embedded finance — managed and auditable.

Common Mistakes

Where Companies Typically Go Wrong

Architecture without understanding regulatory requirements — program falls under sanctions at pilot stage

Underestimating ABS operational criticality — attempt to update the core within a year leads to business stoppage

Ignoring foreign correspondent requirements — reporting for them assembled ad hoc, relationships spoil

Anti-fraud designed in isolation from AML — cross-category attack chains pass unnoticed

Biometrics 2026 as a separate project — a year after launch all customer architecture is rebuilt

Fintech partnerships without legal framework and managed data exchange — legal risks accumulate

Approach

What I Do in These Situations

I work with banks and fintech companies in Uzbekistan and Central Asia with deep understanding of banking specifics — ABS, CBU regulation, foreign correspondent requirements, regional bank operational realities. Approach — start with diagnostics of real bank business tasks and architectural state, design solutions considering regulation and operational constraints, help in negotiations with regulator and foreign partners. Maintain independence from banking platform vendors.

Team role: The bank team leads implementation of architectural decisions — internal IT blocks, product blocks, risk, AML. I work as architectural advisor at the board and architectural committee level. On technical implementation I stay on request for complex decisions and review of critical components. Gives the bank independent expertise without depending on permanent external consultant presence.
