Full-stack Developer — React / Node.js / AWS

Full-stack developer focused on shipping production-ready web apps end-to-end: React/Vue frontends, Node.js APIs, AWS serverless, CI/CD, and monitoring. I care about clean architecture, reliability, and fast feedback loops.

Journey

The story behind my work, from Iran to Germany, and what I’m building now.

  1. Early interest in computers
    • Fascinated by computers from a young age , always curious how things work.
    • Started experimenting with simple HTML/CSS and had a small weblog.
    • Made my first “game” using PowerPoint and learned basic programming with QBasic.
  2. Iran — early career foundations
    • Started building full-stack systems and internal tools in real production environments.
  3. B.Sc. Software Engineering
    2010 — 2016

    Islamic Azad University, Tehran (Parand) — Iran

    • Built a strong base in software fundamentals and engineering practices.
    • Worked on practical projects alongside core computer science coursework.
  4. Civil service — IT support
    2017 — 2018

    Iran

    • Handled basic IT support and office workflows (PC setup, troubleshooting, documentation).
    • Helped users solve common computer issues and kept daily operations running smoothly.
  5. Early IT support / junior dev work
    2018 — 2019

    Iran

    • Supported small teams with IT tasks and basic web/dev work in short-term roles.
    • Built confidence in communication, delivery, and solving real-world problems.
  6. Software Developer — Behsazan Melat (Melat Bank)
    Jun 2019 — Jul 2021

    Tehran, Iran

    • Built and maintained integration services using IBM Integration Bus (IIB), exposing REST APIs and documenting flows for maintainability.
    • Supported internal tooling (Delphi + React) used by branch staff; implemented small SQL utilities/procedures to support operations.
    • Completed IBM ODM + IIB training and applied decision-automation concepts to integration work.
  7. Moved to Germany
    Jul 2021

    Hamburg / Lindau / Munich

    • Relocated to Germany and continued building production systems while improving language skills and local experience.
  8. Software Developer — 21X AG (21.Finance)
    Apr 2022 — Oct 2022

    Lindau, Germany

    • Delivered an internal time-tracking solution with a Node.js backend on AWS (Lambda + managed services).
    • Designed REST APIs and ensured smooth usage across desktop and mobile scenarios.
    • Prototyped a React Native (Expo) mobile app and documented architecture for handover.
  9. Software Developer — Sviper GmbH (The Sandbox)
    Dec 2022 — Oct 2024

    Hamburg, Germany

    • Built backend features for moderation and back-office operations (workflows, ranking/logic, and admin tooling).
    • Improved responsiveness and stability using Redis caching and event-driven processing with Kafka.
    • Introduced safer delivery patterns: feature flags + automated checks, reducing production risk.
    • Containerized services and shipped via CI/CD; added observability (Datadog) to speed up debugging.
  10. Now
    Nov 2024 — Present

    Hamburg, Germany

    • Building a timeline portfolio and sharpening end-to-end workflow (Next.js, AWS, CI/CD).
