Farid F. Gurbanov

Solutions Architect & Engineer with broad experience across cloud infrastructure, data platforms, and system integration. I design and deliver hybrid and multi-cloud architectures (AWS, Azure, on-premise) and event-driven, streaming integration frameworks that help organizations modernize faster and scale with confidence.

Hands-on and practical, I enjoy building developer platforms and full-stack applications (React/Node.js, Python, Terraform, CI/CD) that connect technology with real business impact. My focus is always on combining AI-powered automation, modern engineering practices, and solid architecture to create efficient, maintainable, and data-driven systems.

Recognized for bridging the gap between enterprise architecture and product engineering, I lead by example—mentoring developers, aligning stakeholders, and translating complex ideas into clear and actionable solutions. I’ve worked with both enterprise and SMB clients, helping teams move from legacy systems to agile, cloud-native and AI-ready environments.
