About me
Ali Porkareh — engineering infrastructure that becomes intelligent
IT and network infrastructure professional who has expanded into industrial IoT, intelligent systems, software development and industrial digitalization.
For more than ten years I have worked in professional IT: supporting users and systems, administering servers and directories, designing and operating networks and coordinating technical work. That background shapes how I approach every smart solution project — reliability, security and maintainability come first.
Through my work connected with the mining industry and my studies in Internet of Things Engineering in Germany, my focus has expanded to industrial IoT: sensors and gateways, telemetry platforms such as ThingsBoard, retrofit of legacy equipment, monitoring dashboards and the automation of networks and workflows.

Engineering philosophy
1
Understand before building
Every project starts with the existing equipment, processes and people — not with a product catalogue.
2
Modernise step by step
Retrofit and pilots first; scale what has proven its value in real operation.
3
Reliable and secure by design
Segmented networks, documented configurations and security from the first day.
4
Open and maintainable
Open standards and vendor-neutral choices, so that operators keep control of their systems and data.
Professional collaboration with IoTshop Germany
Alongside individual projects, I maintain a professional collaboration with IoTshop in Germany in the field of IoT and digital technologies.
