What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own monitoring and automation end-to-end—turning KPIs into actionable dashboards, improving alerting quality, and using Linux and Ansible to keep systems stable while growing into data analytics.

I’m an IT systems monitoring specialist currently supporting the Central Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan by setting up and maintaining monitoring and reporting infrastructure. I deploy and integrate new applications into our central monitoring environment using Zabbix and Grafana, and I continuously improve monitoring tools, processes, and alerting thresholds.

I track KPIs (CPU, memory, network traffic, latency, disk space, and application response times), configure fine-tuned alerts, and generate regular performance and capacity reports for both management and technical teams. Previously, I worked as an IT Specialist handling service desk tickets and resolving LAN/WAN and system issues, including remote desktop support and hardware repairs on Windows and Linux, and earlier as an Automation Engineer building SCADA systems and doing PLC programming.
