<h1>Shahriyar Amini</h1>
<p>
I am the engineering manager leading the Data Visualization team at <a
href="https://databricks.com/">Databricks</a>.
I am actively recruiting software engineers for the team. If you are interested in a backend, frontend, or fullstack role, please
reach out to me on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shahriyar-amini">LinkedIn</a>.
</p>
<p>
I completed my PhD at Carnegie Mellon University, where I conducted research on Mobile and Prevasive Computing.
I have been fortunate to contribute to both research and development as well as lead teams in academia and industry.
In these roles, I've enjoyed collaborating with extremely talented and passionate groups and individuals.
