At BackendArchitects, I build and maintain a large Scala 2.13 platform using ZIO 2 and Play Framework. I also developed event-driven ingestion for live game and transaction streams, landing data in a TimescaleDB store.
As Tech Lead, I owned the team’s architecture and technical direction, and ran design and code review while mentoring engineers. I worked fully remotely from Tehran with the team at BackendArchitects in Slovenia.
I also built SureMap, an open-source multithreaded DNA read mapper that outperformed BWA-MEM and BLASR on Nanopore data. My background includes a Ph.D. in algorithm design and three ACM-ICPC World Finals.
