ARIF BABAYEV

Analyzed cross-department processes and delivered LLM-powered automation solutions, significantly reducing manual work. Architected and deployed internal RAG system on Azure (Azure AI Search / pgvector on Azure PostgreSQL) for grounded, accurate knowledge retrieval and domain-specific responses. Built intelligent workflows and campaign/knowledge systems using advanced prompt engineering (chain-of-thought, few-shot), guardrails, and structured output parsing. Engineered integrations (APIs, webhooks) with ERP/corporate systems, Firebase for real-time features, and established data contracts (CSV/Excel schema mapping & validation). Implemented hallucination mitigation, audit logging, and monitoring in Postgres/SQL (Azure-hosted) for traceable, production-safe AI outputs.
