Open to cybersecurity, DevOps & secure backend opportunities
Security Engineering · Baku, Azerbaijan
Engineering security across applications, infrastructure & delivery.
I work across offensive security, DevOps and backend engineering—then turn that overlap into secure, testable systems with visible engineering decisions.

Proof in public
Security decisions you can inspect,
not claims you have to trust.
Four focused repositories connect my security, infrastructure and backend experience. Each project documents architecture, threat assumptions, implementation choices and automated checks.

API
EmilAlizada/secure-django-api
Secure Django API
JWT authentication, short-lived access tokens, owner-scoped authorization, throttling, PostgreSQL and tests that prove cross-user data isolation.
K8S
EmilAlizada/kubernetes-security-lab
Kubernetes Security Lab
Restricted Pod Security, non-root workloads, seccomp, capability dropping, default-deny networking, resource governance and regression tests.
PY
EmilAlizada/python-security-toolkit
Python Security Toolkit
An installable defensive CLI for file integrity, SHA-2 hashing, HTTP security-header review, IOC extraction and authentication-log analysis.
02 About
A three-layer perspective
Think like an attacker.
Build like an engineer.
Operate like it matters.
My background sits at the intersection of offensive security, infrastructure and backend engineering.
That combination gives me a practical way to look at systems from multiple angles: where trust boundaries break, how delivery pipelines behave, and how application code and data fit into the wider security picture.
My internships covered authorized penetration testing, practical DevOps work involving containerization and CI/CD, and backend development with Python, Django and PostgreSQL. The public repositories above extend those areas into reviewable engineering work.

03 Experience
Hands-on, across the stack
From testing attack surfaces to shipping backend systems.
Three technical internships built three complementary views of modern engineering: security assessment, infrastructure operations and application development.

Work beyond the terminal
Technical depth,
human range.
International volunteering, event operations and cross-cultural communication are part of how I work with people—not just systems.
