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.
