I have successfully contributed to complex projects in sectors including fintech, e-commerce, and marketing, consistently advocating for iterative design methodologies and usability testing to optimize user flows.

Throughout my career, I have collaborated across product, development, and business teams to bridge user needs with technical feasibility. I am recognized for enhancing developer handoff speed, reducing design inconsistencies, and accelerating feedback cycles. My notable projects include work on marketplace platforms and enterprise-level dashboards used by thousands of users. I am fluent in Azerbaijani, English, and Turkish, with intermediate proficiency in French and German, which allows me to communicate effectively in diverse environments.
