Reza Shirazi / Head of Engineering

About Reza Shirazi: I build the whole system.

I am Reza Shirazi, Head of Engineering at a US B2B SaaS company, and I still write much of the code. I build whole platforms: backend services, websites, dashboards, search, cloud setup and AI agents. I care about being exact: moving data without losing a row, money math that is right to the cent, and AI tools that ask before they change anything.
