I'm Ali Hesari, a lead platform and security engineer.

I run the platform, security and identity of a large classifieds platform, and I build products and open-source tools.

What I work on

  • Platform: Kubernetes, Helm, GitOps and Terraform/OpenTofu, with zero-downtime releases.
  • Security: Vulnerability response, container hardening, image scanning in CI, and WAF and zero-trust access.
  • Identity: Keycloak, OAuth2/OIDC and single sign-on, with realms, clients and roles managed as code.

Products

  • FoPost: A social publishing platform that adapts one post for each network and schedules or publishes it for you.
  • RealmDeploy (coming soon): Managed Keycloak on Kubernetes, so teams get single sign-on with OAuth2 and OIDC without running the identity server themselves.
  • HardenKit (coming soon): A product for hardening the security of AI-native apps.
  • RankDebug: Finds why a website's search traffic changed and what to fix first, ranked by the clicks at stake.
  • Tech Farsi: Persian-language software education with practical, step-by-step programming courses.

Open source

  • fopost-mcp: An MCP server that lets AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor schedule, publish and analyze social posts through FoPost.
  • fopost-social-laravel (444 stars on GitHub): A Laravel package for publishing to social networks from PHP applications.
