احمد موسوی — مهندس نرمافزار و شبکه
I build software and keep the network standing.
From code to cable: for more than a decade I have built web systems and designed and deployed enterprise network infrastructure. Since 2020 I am the founder and CEO of Sadratech, a knowledge-based company.
01 — About
Two worlds, one person.
I am Ahmad Mousavi, an IT engineer with a master’s degree in computer networks. Since 2012 I have moved between two worlds: writing the software people use every day, and building the network that software breathes on.
On the software side I have built complete web systems — learning management, school administration, SNMP monitoring, ticketing and a custom CMS. On the network side, from configuring over a hundred switches in a university redesign to deploying Exchange for fourteen thousand users, virtualisation, VoIP and enterprise firewalls.
In 2020 I founded Sadratech, a knowledge-based company, and I lead it as CEO. What I care about is simple: a system that works, stays understandable, and does not wake anyone up at 3 a.m.
