@muradsofiyev
I design and ship fintech, AI, and public-service products from research through production.
What I'm looking for
At Birbank, I’m the main designer for Travel within a consumer fintech platform serving 4M+ users, owning discovery, booking flows, interaction states, and production handoff. I also designed and implemented Birbank Biznes dark mode in 10 days and used call-center insights to reduce ATM support calls by 25%.
Previously, I led product and design strategy at PolygrafAI, helping grow monthly website visitors from 200 to 15,000+ through a redesigned experience and scalable design system. I’ve also shipped Peezy, a SaaS kanban tool with a Figma plugin, and Statizen, an interactive statistical atlas, taking both from concept to production.
