Talks, podcasts & workshops.
Ali Asghar is a senior software engineer and technical lead available for talks, podcast appearances and workshops — remote or in person. The topics below come straight from production work: multi-tenant SaaS, payment systems, AI features that ship, and Next.js at scale. No slideware, just what actually held up in production.
Topics I speak on
Tenant isolation, RBAC, and the data-model decisions that decide whether a platform scales past its first ten accounts — drawn from shipping multi-tenant products in production.
Idempotency, reconciliation, PSP webhook ordering, and cent-accurate multi-currency billing — the failure modes that only show up once real money moves.
Taking LLM/agentic and RAG features from demo to production: grounding in your own data, evaluating cost/latency/reliability, and hardening against the failure modes demos hide.
Server components, static-first rendering, and the SEO/performance tradeoffs of the App Router — what holds up when a real product is built on it.
Architecture ownership, code review that scales, and keeping delivery honest across multiple products with a lean team.
Past appearances
I'm opening up to speaking in 2026. If you run a conference, meetup or podcast and one of the topics above fits your audience, I'd love to talk — recordings and slides will land here as they happen.
