I’m Mikayil.
Product designer.
CEO at Yumo.
Building with AI.
I found my way into design between two things I loved: coding and creativity.
Interface design gave me a way to bring visual creativity together with analysis, theory and mathematics. I studied web design at Step IT Academy from 2016 to 2020. In June 2020, I began freelancing through Upwork and other channels, alongside my studies at Baku State University. In January 2021, I joined Element Software for my first full-time UI/UX role, designing custom websites and applications.
Studio work brought a wider range of problems. At MintyMint and A-Soft, I worked on applications, websites and product interfaces, including social platforms and CRM systems. The work connected research, user flows and prototypes with the practical job of building alongside developers, marketers and product managers.
In December 2023, I began leading UI/UX at Yumo. There were two sides to design together: an app where customers could find and book car-care services, and an app where businesses could manage those requests. My work also covered CRM and the brand connecting those experiences.
Since May 2024, I’ve been Yumo’s founder and CEO. My responsibility now reaches beyond the interface into the business behind it: how a service is offered, how a request is handled, and what both the customer and the partner need from the product.
Today, I also build with AI. Design Repo Workflows is one concrete example: skills that work from a project’s own brief, components and design rules, with explicit checks on the result. This is where my design and technical background meet in the tools I build and use.
I’m looking for a Lead or Senior Product Designer role where that combination is useful: hands-on design, experience running a product, and the ability to build the tools around the work.
