I help engineering teams deliver complex software projects by providing technical leadership, architectural guidance, and clear communication between developers and stakeholders. If you need a fractional technical lead who can step in quickly, earn the team's trust, and keep projects moving, that's what I do. Over the past 20+ years, I've architected, designed, and delivered distributed systems, data platforms, and cloud-native applications across high-growth startups and large enterprises, including Capital One, LendUp, and Omniscience. My technical background spans cloud-native systems on AWS, event-driven architectures with Kafka, large-scale data pipelines using Spark and Hadoop, and backend services in Java and TypeScript. I stay current with AI and LLM engineering trends so I can help teams evaluate where these technologies fit within existing architectures and workflows. I also published a technical article on microservices architecture for the Capital One Engineering blog. Beyond architecture, my strength is leading technical execution. As a Tech Lead and acting Scrum Master, I facilitated sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives while working closely with product owners and senior leadership. I redesigned the contractor hiring process, which eliminated ineligible candidates earlier and improved interview efficiency by 50%. I also created retrospective conditions where developers felt safe enough to share real concerns, which led to measurable improvements in team morale and motivation. In addition to my engineering background, I’m a certified stress and burnout recovery coach. That experience brought a dimension of emotional intelligence that is essential to effective leadership: the ability to build trust, facilitate productive conversations, navigate conflict, and create an environment where engineers feel supported. Education and Certifications: MS in Software Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University; BS in Computer Science, University of Tehran; Certified ScrumMaster (Scrum Alliance); AWS Certified Solutions Architect. If you need someone who can lead engineering teams, manage delivery, keep stakeholders and developers aligned without losing sight of the technical details, let's talk.
