Who I Am

I'm Arash Razban, a software engineer and infrastructure specialist based in Germany, actively seeking roles in DevOps, Data Engineering, and Backend Development.

My academic path is a deliberate journey across disciplines. I hold an MSc in Data Science from Ulster University (UK) where I graduated with Distinction, an earlier MSc in Computer Hardware Engineering (scored 16/20), and I am currently completing an MSc in Cyber Security in Germany.

This rare blend — hardware fundamentals, data science, and security — gives me a cross-cutting view that most specialists lack. I build systems that are not just functional, but resilient, observable, and secure by design.

My four core pillars span cloud infrastructure & DevOps, data engineering & pipelines, backend API development, and frontend tooling. I work comfortably across the entire delivery chain — from Terraform modules provisioning cloud resources to FastAPI services serving ML models, to React dashboards surfacing insights.

I'm open to full-time opportunities across Europe, with a preference for roles that combine infrastructure thinking with data engineering complexity.

🎓

Triple Master's

MSc Cyber Security, MSc Data Science (Distinction), MSc Computer Hardware Engineering — a rare multidisciplinary breadth.

🌍

International

Studied and worked across Iran, the United Kingdom, and Germany — bringing global perspective to every project.

Full-Stack Mindset

From bare-metal hardware to cloud infrastructure to pixel-perfect UIs — comfortable navigating the entire stack.

🔒

Security-First

A current MSc in Cyber Security ensures security is baked in at the architecture level — not bolted on at the end.
