15+ years building enterprise-scale platforms across telecom, healthcare, and SaaS. Currently bridging deep cloud & DevSecOps expertise with hands-on AI/LLM engineering and MLOps — from RAG pipelines to agentic systems in production.

The Full Picture

Senior DevOps Architect with 15+ years designing, building, and operating enterprise-scale cloud and hybrid platforms across telecom, healthcare, and SaaS environments. Deep hands-on expertise in the Microsoft ecosystem — Azure DevOps, .NET, Azure CI/CD, and Infrastructure as Code.

In parallel, intentionally upskilling in Applied AI, LLM Engineering, and MLOps, with a strong emphasis on production-oriented system building. My AI work builds directly on my platform background: reliability, security, governance, and lifecycle management first.

Currently serving as CTO – Applied AI & LLM Systems at Cavosh Innovation while continuing as Senior DevOps Architect at Bell Canada. B.Sc. Software Engineering, Sharif University of Technology.
