I'm a DevOps & IT Automation Engineer based in Baku, Azerbaijan. I specialise in monitoring, observability, CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes cluster management, and building automation workflows that eliminate manual toil.
I've worked across banking infrastructure at the International Bank of Azerbaijan and cloud-native environments at Crocusoft. I believe in postmortems over blame, code over clicks, and automation over repetition.
Designed and operated production infrastructure across 3 distinct deployment models — each tailored to environment constraints, cost, and reliability requirements.
Full Kubernetes cluster deployed on bare metal servers — no virtualisation layer. Designed for maximum performance and hardware control in environments where cloud is not an option.
Cloud-native Kubernetes deployment on Hetzner Cloud — cost-efficient European infrastructure. CI/CD pipelines fully automated, container workloads managed with rolling zero-downtime deployments.
Hybrid architecture bridging on-premise infrastructure and cloud resources — sensitive workloads on-prem, scalable/elastic services in cloud. Unified observability and consistent config management across both.
Platforms and tools I have directly integrated into production environments across monitoring, automation, data, and infrastructure workflows.
End-to-end load testing infrastructure for Baku Metro's ticketing API. Covered smoke, load, and stress scenarios with automated reporting and Grafana dashboards for real-time visibility.
Designed Camunda BPM process models for multi-step IT workflows at IBA. Automated Jira ticket lifecycle via REST APIs, reducing manual incident response time significantly.
Built real-time monitoring dashboards at IBA integrating Firebase Crashlytics, BigQuery, and custom alert rules. Provided 360° visibility into application and infrastructure health.
Managed Kubernetes clusters and CI/CD pipelines at Crocusoft — rolling updates, zero-downtime deployments, and runbook documentation for team knowledge sharing.
Open to DevOps roles, infrastructure consulting, and interesting automation challenges.
