Software Architect · Co-founder, Clever Initiative
I architect enterprise software
I take products from an empty repository to production — across architecture, delivery, and the teams that ship them. 17+ years building enterprise software on .NET, Angular and Azure; the last four on FinTech and multi-tenant SaaS.

What I do
Architecture, AI, and delivery
From the first commit to production, and the team that ships it — the six things I bring to every product I build.
- Explore the architecture
Architect from zero to one
I take an empty repository to a production system — Clean Architecture, DDD, CQRS, and event-driven design that stays sane as it scales.
- See what I’m building
AI-native, not AI-flavored
I build the intelligent way: AI-driven engineering and AI product surfaces that are part of the architecture, not bolted on at the end.
- Read my story
Lead and ship
I own the technical decisions and the team that delivers them — setting standards, mentoring engineers, and shipping.
- See the platform
Multi-tenant & modular
Isolated tenants and composable modules that assemble into tailored products without forking the codebase.
- See how it holds together
Secure & event-driven
An event-driven core with auditability, observability, and security designed in from day one.

Cloud & DevOps
Docker, CI/CD and Azure from the first commit. At LeviChain I moved production off physical servers onto Docker and Azure.

Built like enterprise software should be
A multi-tenant SaaS platform I architected from the first commit — event-driven at its core, with a marketplace of composable modules and security built in.

Around the .NET, Angular and Azure core: the messaging, data, DevOps and Web3 tools I build with — from RabbitMQ and Kafka to Docker and Solidity.
FAQ
Good to know
The short answers — where I work, what I build with, and what happens when you reach out.
In Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I co-found Clever Initiative from here and work hybrid.
C#/.NET, Angular, and Azure, built on Domain-Driven Design, microservices, and Clean Architecture — with RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Redis, and Docker around them.
AI is part of how I work and of what I build. I develop agentically, with AI as a first-class engineering method, and I design AI product surfaces — LLM tool-use orchestration, RAG — into the architecture instead of bolting them on at the end.
I’m open to the conversation — whether you’re hiring for a role, scoping a product, or want to compare notes on building software the intelligent way. Tell me what you have in mind.
I speak English (Professional working), Dutch (A2 — actively improving), Persian (Native), and Turkish (Native or bilingual).
Your message lands in my own inbox. I read every message myself and usually reply within a day or two.
