About Me

Network & DevOps Expert

I'm a senior IT professional based in Tehran, Iran, with over 15 years of progressive experience across enterprise network engineering, server virtualization, and modern DevOps infrastructure.

My expertise spans designing WAN/LAN architectures with Cisco and MikroTik equipment, deploying large-scale VMware and OpenStack environments, and building cloud-native platforms with Kubernetes and Docker. I've managed 500+ servers across nationwide deployments in financial and industrial sectors.

Currently serving as IT Manager at the Securities & Exchange Brokers Association, I align infrastructure strategy with business objectives — ensuring high availability, security, and operational efficiency through automation and observability.
