Backend engineer. Infrastructure builder. Automation-first thinker.
Senior software engineer with deep focus on backend systems, Linux infrastructure, and DevOps automation. I architect and operate production platforms — designing systems from the OS layer up through container orchestration, CI/CD, and application services.
I think in systems, not just code. Infrastructure is the product as much as the application running on it.
- Backend services — APIs, background processing, queue systems, and data pipelines using PHP/Laravel and Python
- Containerized infrastructure — Docker environments, multi-service orchestration, and production-grade container platforms
- Orchestration at scale — Kubernetes clusters, service mesh, deployment strategies, and workload management
- Infrastructure automation — Provisioning, configuration management, and repeatable infrastructure-as-code workflows
- Workflow automation — BPMN-based process systems and business process orchestration (ProcessMaker)
- Internal tooling — Developer platforms, CLI tools, and automation that removes manual toil
- AI-native workflows — Agentic coding, LLM-integrated pipelines, and AI-augmented development processes
PHP, Laravel, Python, REST API design, background job processing, database architecture
Linux (Debian/Ubuntu, RHEL, Alpine), ESXi, Proxmox, KVM, bare-metal provisioning
Docker, Docker Compose, Kubernetes, Helm, container networking and storage
CI/CD pipelines, Ansible, Terraform, Shell/Bash scripting, GitOps workflows
Vue.js, modern JavaScript (used when the project demands full-stack ownership)
BPMN 2.0, ProcessMaker, business process automation and modeling
Agentic coding workflows, LLM API integration, AI-augmented development pipelines
- Production infrastructure for SaaS platforms — reliable, observable, and automated
- Kubernetes adoption and cluster lifecycle management
- AI-native development tooling and agentic coding workflows
- Security architecture — hardening, monitoring, and infrastructure-level defense
- Building systems that run themselves with minimal human intervention
I'm open to opportunities where infrastructure depth and backend engineering intersect:
- Senior Backend / Infrastructure Engineer — roles where I own the platform, not just a feature
- Technical Co-Founder / CTO — early-stage or growth-stage companies that need someone who can build the technical foundation
- Consulting — DevOps transformation, platform architecture, infrastructure automation, and containerization strategy
- MSSP / SOC Infrastructure — security-focused infrastructure design and operations
I maintain and contribute to open-source tools focused on Docker infrastructure, developer workflows, and process automation. My work is primarily here on GitHub and on hamidshariati.ir.
