01About

I work on backend services, infrastructure, delivery automation and applied AI. Most of that work has been in defence, enterprise software and telecom.

Portrait of Adam Al Ashiri
Adam · Stockholm, 2026

Right now I'm at Avioniq, working on software and engineering infrastructure in the defence aviation space.

Before that: concurrent Go APIs and payment flows, generative-AI backends with Kafka and vector databases, and keeping national telecom infrastructure running from Tele2's network operations centre. It started with Combat Boat 90 engines in the Swedish Armed Forces, which taught me what "mission-critical" actually means.
