Yusif Alizada
Software Engineer / Backend Developer Baku, Azerbaijan
Java (Spring Boot, Microservices) backend development, team leadership, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and Docker-based delivery.
Profile
Java developer since 2010, focused on backend engineering with Java, SQL, and MySQL. In 2012–2013, I developed Android applications and earned the Oracle Java SE 7 certification (1Z0-803). Since 2017, I have led the Programming Department at Developia Engineering—driving project delivery, end-to-end CI/CD pipelines, and microservices integration for production. I currently lead the DevSys education ecosystem and other live products, with Docker / Docker Compose and GitHub Actions on every project. I cannot share every piece of source code publicly, but I describe production-ready outcomes in the Projects section. Additionally, I deliver advanced Java training for students and team members.
