01 — about

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

Lately I've been leading the team behind a customer chat product. We rebuilt it so it can take on more conversations, keep working as it grows, and cost less for each one.

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.
