Backend architecture
Scalable APIs, microservices, and event-driven workflows that hold up under load. I design clean service boundaries and keep them readable as they grow.
Senior Software Engineer — Tehran, Iran
Backends that stay calm under load — and the AI on top.
I'm Amirkian Kiani. For 7+ years I've turned business processes into production software: scalable APIs, media pipelines, ERP automation, and LLM-powered features across Python, Go, and Odoo.

about
Three things I do, done well.
Ten years of programming, seven professional — spent turning fuzzy business requirements into software that survives real usage.
AI & automation
LLM assistants, retrieval-augmented Q&A, and media-intelligence pipelines: transcription, captioning, and summarization wired into real products and internal workflows.
Technical leadership
Architecture review, code review, and mentoring. I've trained Django engineers at Maktab Sharif & Quera and led delivery with product and operations stakeholders.
