ArvanCloud is a leading Iranian cloud provider delivering Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) at scale, built on OpenStack, Ceph, and Kubernetes.

• Lead the SRE chapter for ArvanCloud's IaaS platform, defining SLOs, owning incident response processes, and establishing reliability standards across core infrastructure services.
• Architected and delivered a VPC project connecting three OpenStack clusters via VXLAN overlays and BGP EVPN routing using OVN and Open vSwitch, enabling secure and unified inter-cluster networking at scale; published an open-source OVN/OVS CLI cheatsheet on GitHub.
• Designed and scaled the observability stack using Prometheus, Grafana, and custom alerting rules, significantly reducing MTTR and improving incident detection across distributed systems.
• Deployed and operated multiple production Kubernetes clusters, managing dozens of microservices via Helm charts and GitOps workflows with ArgoCD.
• Integrated Ceph RBD with OpenStack Cinder for persistent block storage and deployed Ceph CSI for Kubernetes persistent volume provisioning; published an open-source Ceph CLI cheatsheet on GitHub.
• Implemented Load Balancer as a Service (LBaaS) using OpenStack Octavia, extending self-service networking capabilities for cloud tenants.
• Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines with GitLab CI and standardized Infrastructure-as-Code practices with Ansible and Terraform, enabling consistent and automated deployments.
• Participate in on-call rotations, lead incident response, and author post-mortems to drive systemic reliability improvements.
• Maintain operational documentation including architecture diagrams, runbooks, and on-call playbooks to support team scaling and knowledge transfer.

• Administered and maintained a large-scale Linux server environment, supporting deployments across hundreds of servers for a defense-sector organization.
• Deployed VMware ESXi virtualization infrastructure, enabling isolated development and testing environments for engineering teams.
• Eliminated manual toil by automating infrastructure operations with Ansible and Shell Scripting.
• Containerized and migrated monolithic applications to LXC, improving resource efficiency and deployment repeatability.
• Built a centralized logging platform using the ELK Stack to aggregate and analyze logs from thousands of servers, enabling proactive issue detection.
• Configured Zabbix monitoring with alerting, enabling proactive capacity tracking and server health visibility.

• Developed firmware for industrial embedded systems using AVR and ARM microcontrollers.
• Designed and built hardware-software integrated solutions for automation and control applications.
