Software Engineer · Open Source Developer · Linux & DevOps Enthusiast
I build practical software, developer tools, open-source projects, and technical documentation. I enjoy working close to the infrastructure layer while also exploring AI, automation, Linux, cloud-native systems, and developer tooling.
My GitHub is a collection of projects I've built, maintained, documented, or used to explore new technologies — with a particular focus on useful, self-hostable, and open-source solutions.
- 🧑💻 Software Engineering — backend development, APIs, automation, and developer tooling
- 🐧 Linux & DevOps — Linux systems, self-hosting, deployment, infrastructure, and cloud-native workflows
- 🤖 AI & LLMs — AI applications, agents, RAG, automation, and practical experimentation
- 🌐 Open Source — building, maintaining, documenting, and sharing useful projects
- 🎬 Stremio & Media Tools — Persian subtitles and streaming integrations
- 📚 Technical Education — Persian technical documentation, books, cheat sheets, and localized learning resources
- Persian-Streams — A Stremio addon for discovering Persian streams for movies and TV series, with Node.js/Express and Cloudflare Workers runtimes.
- Persian-Subtitles — A Stremio addon for Persian subtitles, integrating with the SubSource API and supporting both Node.js and Cloudflare Workers.
- aima-4e-persian — Persian learning resources based on Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, 4th Edition, by Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig.
- linux-cheatsheet — Practical Linux command-line and system administration references.
- cheatsheets — Developer-oriented cheat sheets and quick references.
- nix-config — Personal Nix configuration and reproducible system setup.
- alirostami.com — My personal website and project documentation, built around Hugo and a custom workflow for publishing project pages.
I work across the application and infrastructure layers, including:
Languages & Runtime
Go · Rust · JavaScript · Node.js · Python · Bash
Backend & APIs
REST APIs · Express · PostgreSQL · MySQL · JWT · API Authentication
Linux & DevOps
Linux · Nix/NixOS · Docker · Kubernetes · GitHub Actions · Cloudflare Workers · Proxmox
AI & Automation
LLMs · RAG · AI Agents · LangChain · LangGraph · Ollama · n8n
Developer Tools
Git · GitHub · Neovim · Zsh · Zellij · Hugo
My stack evolves continuously. I prefer choosing tools based on the problem rather than following a fixed technology list.
A significant part of my work is about making technical knowledge and software more accessible to Persian-speaking developers. I maintain projects that combine software development, localization, documentation, and practical examples.
I particularly enjoy turning what I learn into reusable resources — from cheat sheets and technical books to open-source tools and project documentation.
- AI agents and agentic workflows
- Local LLMs and self-hosted AI
- RAG and knowledge-based applications
- Nix/NixOS and reproducible development environments
- Cloud-native architecture and DevOps automation
- Go and Rust for production backend systems
- Better developer experience and technical documentation
