Profile: https://flows.cv/rezarezaian

Backend engineer with 15+ years of experience designing, building, and operating large-scale distributed systems, performance-sensitive APIs, and reliable backend platforms in regulated and high-growth environments.

I focus on turning complex business and product requirements into scalable, maintainable backend systems. My work spans distributed service design, event-driven and asynchronous processing, SQL- and NoSQL-backed data models, and cloud-native architectures, with a strong emphasis on operational ownership and long-term reliability.

I’ve designed systems handling 100M+ regulated requests annually, replaced critical third-party dependencies with internally owned services, and improved latency, reliability, and cost efficiency. I enjoy owning features end-to-end — from design and implementation through production operation and evolution.
