What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my skills in microservices and cloud technologies to drive impactful projects.

I am a dedicated Back-end Engineer with over 4 years of experience in architecting and optimizing cloud-native microservices for Iran's leading ride-hailing platform, which serves tens of millions of monthly active users. My journey has been marked by a proven track record in refactoring monoliths, significantly reducing downtime by up to 100%, and launching high-throughput services that supported 400,000 new subscribers within just four months.

At Snapp!, I led the transformation of a monolithic architecture into microservices, improving deployment speed by 30% and enhancing system observability through end-to-end distributed tracing and monitoring. I have successfully launched referral growth initiatives, developed mission-based engagement services, and built high-volume messaging systems that ensure reliability and efficiency. My commitment to resilience engineering has resulted in a 60% reduction in inter-service error rates, showcasing my ability to deliver robust and scalable solutions.
