Alireza Basmenj

@alirezabasmenj

Senior software engineer growing into AI engineering, building Python/ML backends and product-ready systems.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build reliable Python backends with applied ML/AI, own API integrations end to end, and ship data-driven product features with strong Agile collaboration.

I’m a Software Engineer and M.Sc. Artificial Intelligence student with 6+ years of experience across software development, product ownership, and business analysis. I bring hands-on experience in backend development with applied machine learning, with a strong focus on turning requirements into working, testable systems.

In recent work, I’ve built Python-based backend applications and automation tools for financial and data-processing workflows using FastAPI and REST APIs—integrating third-party services, validating API responses, and ensuring data consistency. Previously, as a Product Owner & Business Analyst, I led product ownership for a national-scale insurance platform, reducing time-to-market by 28% through Agile delivery improvements, backlog restructuring, and better cross-functional coordination.

I also develop applied solutions such as an OpenCV-based computer vision image registration pipeline (ORB/SIFT + homography) and evaluate supervised ML models with scikit-learn, including preprocessing, feature analysis, and hyperparameter tuning.
