01Introduction

I'm Rufat — a senior software engineer in Baku. Since 2019 I've built production web, mobile and backend systems for international teams, startups and public-sector clients, from the first interface to the cloud it runs on.

01

Interfaces

Responsive web and mobile experiences in React, Next.js and React Native — motion, accessibility and performance included.

02

Systems

APIs, data layers and application architecture with Node.js, NestJS, Python and PostgreSQL.

03

Delivery

Technical coordination, deployment and product ownership — from discovery to a monitored release.

Frontend architecture, full-stack development and mobile apps — plus the technical leadership, product ownership and mentoring that keep a team shipping.

02Selected work

Selected work.

Product platforms, marketing sites and a mobile app delivered with DevCommunity in 2026 — each built end to end, from structure and interface to the systems behind them.

03Services

What I build,
end to end.

One engineer across the whole surface — interface, services, data and delivery — so nothing is lost between hand-offs.

04The stack

Four layers.
One system.

Products fail at the seams between layers. I work across all four, so the interface, services, data and infrastructure are designed as one piece.

05About

Engineer first.
Product-minded throughout.

A senior engineer building production web, mobile and backend systems for international teams, startups and public-sector clients — from frontend architecture and design handoff through performance work and cloud deployment.

My work spans frontend architecture, full-stack development and mobile apps — with React, Next.js, TypeScript, React Native and Node.js at the core. Alongside the code I've led teams, owned products end to end and mentored engineers, which is why I care as much about the requirements and the release as about the implementation in between.
