Amir Sheikhi is a Senior Software Developer and PhD candidate based in Nicosia, Cyprus, with six years of hands-on experience building cloud-native AI systems and production APIs. He specializes in integrating state-of-the-art LLMs (GPT, Gemini, Anthropic, Ollama) into real-world applications, authoring FastAPI microservices and serverless architectures on AWS (API Gateway, Lambda, Step Functions). His background spans ETL and data warehouse design to CI/CD automation with Serverless Framework and GitHub Actions, reflecting a rare blend of research-driven insight and pragmatic engineering.
