Final-year Computer Engineering student building robust, scalable backend systems with Java and Spring Boot.
01 — About
Fifth-year Computer Engineering student and backend developer, currently a Middle Back-End Developer at ABB in Baku, Azerbaijan. I specialize in building robust, scalable, and secure applications with Java and Spring Boot.
My experience spans REST APIs, microservices architecture, and relational databases — I care about writing clean, efficient code that solves real problems, and I'm always looking to contribute to impactful projects alongside forward-thinking teams.
Designing and building scalable server-side applications and REST APIs.
Building robust, object-oriented backend applications with Java.
Developing production-ready REST APIs and enterprise applications.
PostgreSQL, Redis and Kafka — designing schemas, caching, and event streams.
Microservices, event-driven design, and REST APIs that scale.
Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and Git-driven workflows.
02 — Projects
Built with a small team as a real multivendor marketplace, not a tutorial clone — split across a dedicated GitHub organization with a separate repository per service. I owned the backend and infrastructure end to end: 10+ independent Spring Boot microservices (core, payments, orders, blog, notifications, AI, and more), Kafka decoupling notifications and order events from the request path, Redis backing verification codes and rate-limiting, and Docker images built and published automatically into a self-managed Kubernetes cluster with readiness/liveness probes across every service. CI/CD is fully automated end-to-end — every merge builds, deploys, and verifies its own rollout — backed by a GitOps repo where changing one manifest redeploys exactly the right service.

Achievements
Placed 2nd among 11 teams and earned a place in the CulTech Incubation Program to keep developing the idea. Our team, Naxış, built a platform that connects people with cinemas, theaters, museums, festivals, and workshops through discounted tickets, curated bundles, and a loyalty program that rewards every cultural visit. Supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan and Yaradıcı Mərkəz.
Reached the finals in the Financial Technologies category as one of only 31 finalist teams among 17,326 competitors. Contributed to our team, Finnovators, as a Back-End Developer — a valuable experience in innovation, teamwork, and problem-solving.
Selected for PASHA Holding's “Əlaçı” Scholarship Program — a one-year program that each year chooses around 100 talented 3rd- and 4th-year undergraduates from thousands of applicants across Azerbaijan. Grateful for the opportunity to keep learning, gain new experience, and work toward even greater achievements.
Secured 1st place among 12 selected teams from 109 applicants. Our team, TECHBOSS, built a gamified growth platform for SMEs with AI-driven guidance to boost business growth and customer engagement in banking — awarded a 3,000 AZN prize.
