Message

At VASL, I lead data platform, BI, and AI-integrated engineering initiatives. I architect data lake, warehouse, and mart layers, including streaming pipelines that process millions of daily events.

I’ve designed production AI initiatives at VASL, including face authentication/KYC and real-time person detection pipelines, as well as RAG-based assistants using vector databases and LLM infrastructure. I also established privacy-by-design practices for sensitive data flows.

Before VASL, I worked across data engineering, distributed systems, and software development, including maintaining blockchain infrastructure and leading engineering and IT teams at Abantether آبان تتر. At Mahak, I operated Hadoop ecosystems and developed data-driven applications using Java and Scala.
