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.

Highlights

  • Stack: React / Next.js / Node.js / AWS
  • Focus: production-ready apps, CI/CD, observability
  • Based in: Hamburg, Germany
  • German: B1 → B2 (in progress)

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
