Results-driven Cloud & Systems Engineer with over 15 years of experience automating, deploying, and securing mission-critical infrastructure across hybrid cloud environments. U.S. Citizen with active Public Trust clearance and TS/SCI eligibility, specializing in Impact Level 4/5 (IL4/IL5) DoD environments and FedRAMP compliance. Recently delivered operational excellence for Amazon's Project Kuiper satellite program through strategic EGSE rack deployments, integrating complex ATE, KTE, and Linux host systems. Proven expertise in Python automation, Terraform IaC, and capacity optimization using advanced modeling tools. Known for improving deployment efficiency, reducing operational costs by 20%, and maintaining zero critical security findings in highly regulated environments. 

I’m a Senior Cloud and Infrastructure Engineer with over 15 years of experience, specializing in secure, mission-critical environments—think IL4/IL5, FedRAMP, and satellite systems like Amazon’s Kuiper project. I’m a builder at heart. I’ve led rack deployments, automated compliance workflows, and optimized cloud capacity using tools like Python, Terraform, and Clotho modeling. My background bridges hands-on engineering with leadership in complex environments—from federal systems to startups. I’m TS/SCI eligible, fluent in four languages, and always looking for that next opportunity to drive operational excellence where it really matters.

I’ve got a master’s degree in Software Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology and a bachelor’s in Computer Science from the University of Arak. Right now, I’m back in the classroom working toward a Cloud Architecture and Services Associate at Bellevue College to stay sharp with the latest in cloud infrastructure. My academic background gave me a solid technical foundation, but it’s that mix of formal education and hands-on experience that really shaped how I solve problems.
