Senior software engineer specializing in backend systems, distributed architectures, and fintech solutions.
AzerbaijanWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior software engineer with over seven years of experience delivering backend solutions for fintech, enterprise, and SaaS products. I specialize in TypeScript/Node.js and PHP, and I design and build distributed systems for ERP, CRM, LMS, tourism, and financial applications.
At Puls Technologies I built customer-facing and internal backend APIs, developed an automated invoicing system, and helped design a financial transaction processing platform that improved risk assessment and credit-limit scoring by 65%.
Previously, I created software architecture with OOP and design patterns at CodeIT, increased test coverage from 40% to 70%, mentored junior engineers, integrated payment systems and monitoring tools, and optimized database performance to improve user experience.
I enjoy solving performance bottlenecks, writing tests and CI/CD pipelines, and building reliable, maintainable systems. I pursue personal projects to explore new technologies and contribute to collaborative tools and small-scale learning projects.
