01 — about

Backend engineer focused on putting language models into production where they actually have to work.

My recent focus has been on enhancing chat solutions through the strategic integration of Large Language Models and AI. In the last four months I helped transition a codebase to FastAPI and shipped an event-driven design using RabbitMQ — meaningful gains in throughput, scalability, and cost-per-conversation.

Before that, as a Software Technical Lead at Agentco, I drove AI integration into corporate projects with Python and FastAPI. Across nine years of freelance work and full-time roles across Iran and remote teams, the through-line is the same: ship robust backends, work cleanly across functions, deliver on time.

I care about simple architectures that survive contact with real traffic, observability that doesn't lie, and prompts that fail gracefully when the model has a bad day.

05 — education

Largely self-directed — most of what I know shipped to a deadline.

The bulk of my craft has come from nine years of freelance delivery and full-time roles where I owned production systems end-to-end. I keep a steady reading list around distributed systems, applied ML, and language-model behaviour.

If a formal academic record is needed for a contract, I'll happily share it on request via email.
