Senior Software Engineer · Backend & Distributed Systems · Persian Musician
I architect distributed systems and keep the rhythm of the daf — engineering and music, two expressions of the same pattern-sense.
Senior .NET backend engineer with 8 years building backend systems for e-commerce and logistics — the last four on event-driven distributed systems at scale — an M.Sc. in AI, and a player of Daf, Tar, Tonbak, and Setar.
I live where structure meets expression. By day I design and ship reliable backend systems — event-driven services, data models, and APIs that hold up under load. By night I sit behind a tonbak or lift a daf, working in the same currency I use at work: pattern, timing, and tension-and-release.
A 6/8 Persian rhythm and a well-orchestrated stream of Kafka events aren't so different — both are about getting many independent voices to stay in time. Whether I'm tuning a consumer group for throughput or tuning a daf for a performance, I'm chasing the same thing: many parts moving on their own yet landing together, exactly on the beat. That instinct — for structure that breathes — is what ties my engineering and my music into a single way of thinking.
Senior Software Engineer · Okala (Golrang Industrial Group), Tehran
Owned execution of a multi-year migration off the fulfillment monolith — building its replacements from zero, moving every operational flow across, then decommissioning the originals. Production incidents fell from near-daily to one or two a month.
Designed and built the APIs behind 150K+ orders a day — over 300K during campaigns: around 200 versioned REST endpoints running four versions of one API surface side by side, integrating third-party logistics over Kafka and orchestrating couriers, the call center, and customers.
Replaced hand-maintained, per-store delivery radiuses with a rules engine that encodes operations agents' expertise, evaluating time of day, weather, and pending-order backlog to adjust each store automatically. Its pending-order signal is kept live by re-partitioning order events onto one ordered Kafka partition per store.
Store coverage and nearby-store search built on SQL Server spatial types with NetTopologySuite (SRID 4326) — delivery-radius coverage, polygon non-coverage areas, and distance-ranked results — evolved across four side-by-side API versions.
A 40-topic event backbone with at-least-once delivery and per-entity ordering — every message keyed by its business entity ID. Failed events retry with backoff, then land in a persisted outbox a sweeper reprocesses every two minutes; an atomic Redis SET NX guard stops duplicate notifications across replicas.
A test suite across unit, integration, and Gherkin BDD tiers — the integration harness boots real SQL Server and Redis containers via Testcontainers, hosts two full ASP.NET Core apps, and drives them over real HTTP through typed clients, sharded across parallel CI jobs.
Persian percussion and string traditions, starting with fifteen years behind a daf.
Primary instrument · 15 years
Frame drum at the heart of Sufi and folk repertoire. The constant thread from early TV performances in Semnan Province to concert stages in Tehran.
Since 2018
Long-necked lute carrying the melodic modes (dastgāh) of Persian classical music.
Since 2023
The principal goblet drum of Persian classical music; intricate finger technique and meter.
Currently learning · since 2025
A quieter, four-stringed relative of the tar, central to solo and mystical repertoire.
Focus on machine learning and reinforcement learning, with research in transfer learning for traffic-signal control.
Foundations in software engineering, algorithms, and systems.
A working notebook — things I learned, things I built, and papers I went down a rabbit hole on.
Open to engineering roles and musical collaborations alike.
