Architecting Cloud-Native Solutions.
I am Abolfazl Bazghandi, a Senior Full Stack Developer with a Master's in Software Engineering and over a decade of experience. My journey evolved from deep Android and Java development into mastering modern web ecosystems. Today, I specialize in building robust platforms using Next.js, NestJS, and AWS. I focus on pragmatic architecture—deploying exactly what the solution demands, whether that means orchestrating complex Kubernetes clusters or streamlining agile deployments via AWS App Runner.

Core Skills
Technical Ecosystem
My preferred stack for building scalable applications, separated by domain expertise.
Frontend Engineering
Building responsive, accessible, and performant user interfaces.
Backend Architecture
Designing robust APIs, microservices, and secure logic layers.
Database Systems
Optimized data storage solutions using SQL, NoSQL, and Caching.
DevOps & Automation
Automated GitOps pipelines, cross-repo security, and EKS deployments.
Cloud Infrastructure
Scalable cloud-native solutions powered by AWS services.
Architecture First
I don't just write code; I design systems. Focusing on long-term scalability.
AI-Augmented Architecture
Leveraging state-of-the-art AI to build intelligent cloud-native systems, enforce rigorous security postures, and multiply development velocity.
Enterprise AI Architecture
Architecting context-aware systems by integrating AWS Bedrock for secure, private foundation models and OpenAI APIs for advanced generative reasoning. I focus on deploying production-ready AI that scales gracefully without compromising data privacy.
Serverless AI Workflows
Orchestrating event-driven, managed workflows using Firebase AI extensions. By offloading heavy lifting to serverless infrastructure, I instantly deploy features like semantic search and automated data pipelines with zero operational overhead.
Engineering Velocity
Treating AI as a sheer force multiplier for development speed. I leverage advanced LLMs to rapidly prototype boilerplate, generate aggressive edge-case tests, and conduct proactive security vulnerability audits to drastically reduce technical debt.
Featured Projects
A selection of platforms I have architected, showcasing scalable backends, real-time automation, and seamless user experiences.
Ruume
Smart Video & Monetization Platform
A comprehensive interactive platform combining smart video and live meetings. I engineered scalable infrastructure for seamless conferencing and implemented core business features, including automated calendar synchronization and a robust file monetization system powered by Stripe.
