Masoud Chelongar

A Senior Software and Platform Architect based in Germany with more than 10 years of experience working on distributed systems, cloud-native platforms, and large-scale software transformation and modernization initiatives.

My work focuses on architecture transformation, Domain-Driven Design, event-driven systems, and scalable cloud-native architectures.

The creator of the Systemic Event Discovery Approach

Background

Originally from Iran, I studied Electronic Engineering in Isfahan before completing my Master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Turin in Italy.

My professional background started with low-level engineering, real-time systems, distributed event processing, network security, and large-scale data systems using technologies such as C/C++, Java, RabbitMQ, Kafka, and Linux-based platforms.

Over time, my work evolved toward software architecture, platform engineering, cloud-native infrastructure, and enterprise transformation initiatives.

Today, I work in Germany on development, architecture and modernization projects across telecommunications, network security, automotive, logistics, SaaS platforms, e-commerce, and distributed data-processing environments.

What I work On

My work focuses on software and platform architecture for distributed and cloud-native systems, with an emphasis on scalability, maintainability, operational reliability, and long-term system evolution. Areas I regularly work on include:

  • Modernization & transformation
  • Event-driven architecture
  • Cloud-native platform design
  • API and integration architecture
  • CI/CD and DevSecOps enablement
  • Distributed systems
  • Enterprise AI and private LLM-based systems

Over the years, I have worked across industries including telecommunications, network security, automotive, logistics, SaaS platforms, e-commerce systems, and large-scale data-processing environments.

Throughout my career, I have contributed to platform engineering, architectural modernization, distributed systems design, and enterprise software initiatives within organizations such as Koerber Supply Chain, Brose Group, Brandad Solution GmbH, Cloudrizon, SIGOS, and cognitix GmbH.

Architectural Thinking

Beyond implementation and platform engineering, I’m interested in architecture as a systemic discipline that connects software structure, organizational dynamics, event flows, and long-term system evolution.

This interest led me to develop SEDA (Systemic Event Discovery Approach), a structured approach for system and domain discovery focused on identifying behavioral flows, architectural boundaries, and transformation opportunities within complex systems. 

My architectural thinking is influenced by distributed systems theory, Domain-Driven Design event-driven architecture, systems thinking, and the practical realities of large-scale modernization initiatives.
