About Me
Senior Software Engineer with 8+ years of full-stack experience across Python, React, and AI-driven solutions — architecting cloud-native, microservices-based platforms that ship at production quality.
I design and build distributed systems where high-performance Python and Node.js back-ends meet expressive, user-centered React front-ends. A decade in production — across AI-powered e-commerce, real-time analytics, and secure cyber-security workflows — has sharpened the same set of habits: cloud-native architecture, observable services, ML-driven intelligence, and the DevOps discipline that turns ambitious ideas into reliable releases.
NEON IT, Frespear Inc., and the Azerbaijan Cyber Security Center — three very different environments, one compounding career. At Frespear I learned how to ship full-stack products end-to-end: React + Node.js SPAs, GraphQL APIs, ML-backed personalization, and serverless AWS infrastructure tuned for cost and scale. At NEON IT I took that foundation into AI-powered platforms — TensorFlow recommendation engines that lifted engagement, microservices migrations on Docker + Kubernetes that cut downtime by 40%, and CI/CD pipelines that made every deployment a non-event. The cyber-security work sharpened a different instinct entirely: penetration testing, ML-driven anomaly detection, MFA / 2FA, and end-to-end AES + TLS encryption that meets GDPR and ISO 27001. Each context taught the same lesson: build reliable systems, keep data secure, and never let scale be an afterthought.

- ▹Optimized front-end performance by implementing code-splitting and lazy loading using React and Webpack, reducing initial page load times by 50%
Cyber Security Student
Jan 2024 — Jul 2024During my time at the Azerbaijan Cyber Security Center, I developed an in-depth understanding of security protocols, data protection, and secure coding practices, which I applied to both front-end and back-end systems.
- ▹Conducted penetration testing on both client-side and server-side applications, identifying vulnerabilities such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection, which were remediated to improve overall application security
- ▹Leveraged machine learning algorithms for real-time anomaly detection, helping improve the organization's ability to detect and mitigate threats 30% faster than previous methods
- ▹Implemented secure API design principles such as rate limiting, input validation, and output encoding to protect applications from common attacks
- ▹Worked with the security team to deploy firewalls and intrusion detection systems (IDS) that monitored traffic patterns and identified potential security threats across the network
- ▹Assisted in integrating multi-factor authentication (MFA) and two-factor authentication (2FA) into systems, ensuring additional layers of security for sensitive data
- ▹Designed and implemented end-to-end encryption using AES and TLS, ensuring data confidentiality during transmission and at rest, while meeting security standards like ISO 27001
- ▹Analyzed and mitigated security risks by implementing data masking and tokenization for sensitive customer data stored in databases
Frontend Developer
