Behrad Khodayar

Engineering Team Lead & Cloud Architect leading design & delivery of an ML workflow dashboard. Since Sep 2024, architected & deployed the entire Azure-based platform using distributed ML, microservices & DevOps automation. Leading a remote team (3–4 devs), handling hiring, mentoring & Scrum. Built cloud-native stack (Spring Boot, Ray, Next.js) with Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, ArgoCD & GitHub Actions, cutting ops overhead 70% & ensuring scalable, observable, cost-efficient delivery.

Hands-on Engineering Lead driving end-to-end delivery of two advanced systems: a real-time meteorological data platform and an LLM-powered job aggregator. Led a small, high-performing team, built scalable microservices (Java 17–21, Spring Boot, WebFlux), and modern UIs (Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind). Automated infra with Terraform, Kubernetes, ArgoCD (GitOps), and CI/CD via GitHub Actions. Also launched a 10K OnChain Ethereum NFT collection from concept to full sell-out.

As CTO, I led the end-to-end design and launch of a high-performance cryptocurrency exchange with 99.9% uptime and sub-300 ms latency. Architected a scalable Spring Boot microservices backend, real-time matching engine (Reactive Streams + Redis), and smart liquidity routing (Binance, Kraken) cutting slippage by 20%. Drove a 7-engineer team, Agile + CI/CD adoption, and JVM optimizations boosting throughput 40%. Delivered a secure, regulation-ready trading platform from the ground up.

As a Senior Fullstack Engineer, I led the development of a mission-critical back-office app for client and payment management using Java Spring & Hibernate. I optimized MySQL queries and APIs, cutting response times by 50%, and migrated a legacy monolith to a modular Spring MVC architecture. I also built a reusable DataTables-based component library, unifying the UI across all internal tools. Focused on clean, scalable code and design patterns, I ensured long-term maintainability and evolution.

As a Fullstack Developer, I delivered enterprise-grade and web solutions combining scalable backends with intuitive UIs. I enhanced an enterprise portal on WaveMaker (Java, Dojo), led a 30M-row Oracle→PostgreSQL migration (25% faster), and built RESTful APIs for 2M+ users. My work spans Symfony, Drupal, and PrestaShop platforms — from BPMS portals to e-commerce systems — always focused on performance, maintainability, and business impact.

I began my career as a Web Developer, delivering 30+ high-impact websites and CMS solutions across diverse industries. I built a custom WYSIWYG CMS on LAMP/AJAX that boosted delivery speed by 40% and client satisfaction to 95%. Skilled in PHP, JavaScript, Symfony, WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and Magento, I championed modern frameworks. Later on I started mentoring junior devs, and helped win key clients through quality-driven, scalable web solutions.
