Hi, I'm Ash — Ashkan Dorkian.
I'm a Senior Software Engineer and Tech Lead based in Tuscany, Italy. I've spent 20+ years building enterprise software — and the last few years deep in AI: LLM integrations, automation pipelines, MCP server development, and AI agent orchestration.
I'm not a chatbot builder. I build the systems underneath: the APIs, the data pipelines, the workflows that make AI actually useful in a production environment.
What I believe
Automation should eliminate work, not create it.
Most "automation" I've seen adds more maintenance than it saves. I build systems that are boring to maintain — because boring means reliable.
Public proof beats any claim.
My GitHub is open. I'd rather show you code than pitch you a slide deck.
AI is infrastructure, not magic.
LLMs are tools. The value comes from integrating them into real systems, with real data, for real workflows — not from the model itself.
