Alireza Haghshenas is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building high-performance systems, AI-driven solutions, and robust software architectures across startups and large organizations. Based in Vancouver, he has led cross-functional teams to deliver mission-critical platforms—from a national welfare database and enterprise CPM tooling to discovery services in a major Android marketplace. His work spans microservices, robotics, algorithms, and computational geometry, and he has a track record of improving reliability (e.g., raising a microservice QOS from 98.2 to 99.99) and enabling near-zero-downtime migrations. As a former CTO and technical lead he blends product-minded leadership with hands-on engineering, guiding remote teams to production-grade SaaS. Now at Microsoft, he continues to apply his AI and systems expertise to large-scale challenges while drawing on a Master’s in Artificial Intelligence. An unexpected strength is his history of inventing practical domain-specific tools—like a spreadsheet-to-relational mapper and an optimized stone-cutting advisor—that turned complex manual workflows into automated, auditable systems.
