I'm a Senior Python Backend Engineer with 6+ years of experience architecting scalable, production-ready APIs and AI-assisted workflows. I specialize in microservices, async processing, and cloud-native deployments across AWS and GCP. I have a proven track record of owning features end-to-endβfrom architectural design to automated rolloutβusing modern AI-assisted tools like Claude Code and Cursor to accelerate delivery while preserving rigorous code quality and review standards.
- Revenue & Product Impact: Spearheaded Subscription Box features for Shopify Apps at Partnerz, generating $5,000+ in added MRR and driving a 10% increase in monthly conversion rates.
- AI-Assisted Delivery: Established Claude Code & Cursor workflows and custom agentic coding skills that tripled feature delivery speed.
- Infrastructure & CI Optimization: Reduced Pytest suite runtime by 25% (saving 8 hours/month), slashed deployment cycles by ~50% via IaC and containerization, and halved p95 search latency.
- Engineering Leadership: Led an 8-engineer microservices team, acted as primary code reviewer (saving 16 hours/month for management), and reduced customer support tickets by 45% via theme-adaptive UI components.
- Academic & AI Research: Graduated with a 4.0 / 4.0 GPA for M.Sc. in Computer Engineering from Sharif University of Technology; published thesis on GPU partitioning & pipeline inference optimization (reducing compute costs by 25%).
- Backend & Core: Python, Django (DRF), Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis, REST APIs, GraphQL, OAuth / OAuth2, Gunicorn
- Databases & Search: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, SQL & NoSQL Schema Design
- Cloud & DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, NGINX, AWS, GCP, Linux, Git, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, IaC (Terraform, Ansible)
- Quality & Observability: Pytest, Cypress, Sentry, Grafana, OpenAPI / Swagger
- AI Delivery: Claude Code, Cursor, AI-assisted product refinement, automated code review, prompt engineering
- Practices: Microservices architecture, API design & standardization, performance tuning, CI/CD pipelines
