About Me

Esfandiar Kiani

Human, Nothing more than human — building practical AI systems, cloud-native products, and mission-level technical roadmaps with a systems-oriented mindset and calm, people-first leadership.

Summary

I work at the intersection of AI engineering, systems design, cloud-native product building, and structured technical leadership. Since 2026, I have been building NetZo-Cloud and contributing to Toosai, a ministerial AI-assistant project with dedicated tracks for Energy and Tourism workflows. My focus is on translating high-level missions into reliable ML, LLM/RAG, and agentic-system roadmaps — from architecture and data design to hands-on implementation, stakeholder alignment, optimization, and delivery.
