Hi, I'm Arman Shirzad
5+ years shipping resilient back-end, fullstack & AI-powered platforms.
Background
I turn ideas into production ready platforms. pursuing an M.Sc. in AI at BTU Germany. Over the last five years I’ve: Led Iran’s first Electronic Stamp platform (2 M stamps, 3B IRR revenue, 90 % ROI in 9 months). Modernized legacy monoliths into ASP .NET Core microservices, cutting downtime by 35 % and lifting user-engagement +70 %. Built LLM-powered scrapers & automation pipelines, powering fully automated content workflows. My toolkit spans C#/.NET, Python, cloud (Azure | AWS | GCP), Terraform, Docker/K8s, low-code/no-code, and AI/ML. I care deeply about clean architecture, TDD, and clear Scrum-driven collaboration.
