Backend · Geospatial · Artificial Intelligence
I’m Araz Shahkarami, a senior backend engineer working at the intersection of Python, geospatial systems and AI. I turn complex data, maps and intelligent workflows into reliable software products.
01 / About
My work connects backend engineering, spatial data and intelligent interfaces—three disciplines that rarely remain separate in real-world systems.
I specialize in designing modular backend services, spatial databases, data-intensive APIs and AI-assisted geospatial platforms. My experience spans insurance technology, risk assessment, claims management, Sensor Web systems, natural language mapping and enterprise spatial infrastructure.
I currently work as a Geospatial Backend Developer at Spatial Science Innovators and as a Senior Software Engineer at Alborz Insurance Company. I have also led and mentored technical teams, created independent products and produced Persian technical education.
02 / Selected work
A Persian geospatial AI assistant that turns natural-language requests into location search, routing, spatial analysis and interactive map-based responses. Designed around modular capabilities, plugin-based spatial intelligence and smart LLM orchestration.
A dedicated space for geospatial experiments, prototypes, spatial data tools and explorations at the intersection of mapping, backend systems and artificial intelligence.
A Persian technology education platform covering programming, backend engineering, web development, DevOps, GIS, databases and artificial intelligence.
A lightweight, terminal-first file-sharing service designed to transfer files and create shareable links without leaving the command line.
Building scalable geospatial APIs, microservice-based spatial platforms, GeoAI pipelines and MCP servers using Python, FastAPI and PostGIS.
Designing enterprise Python backend systems, spatial risk assessment capabilities, claims visualization, data integration and anomaly-detection workflows while leading and mentoring a technical team.
Researched and developed Sensor Web systems, OGC/SWE-based components and data pipelines for GPS devices, weather stations and connected geospatial sensors.
Worked on software development, database solutions and ETL processes using C and Microsoft SQL Server.
04 / Open knowledge
As an OSGeo Advocate, I contribute to open geospatial software, Persian localization and community knowledge sharing. This includes adding Persian language support to GeoLibre and creating technical content around backend engineering, GIS, AI and emerging standards such as the Model Context Protocol.
