Senior Backend Engineer | Fintech & Scalable Systems | ฤฐzmir, Tรผrkiye
I still remember my first computer in 1993 โ a clunky DOS machine with Norton Commander. I was 7, my dad was away on a trip, and I turned it on... nothing on the screen. Panicking, I mashed every button labeled in English (which I barely understood) trying to "fix" it. Turns out, the monitor was just off. That mix of frustration and triumph hooked me on tech forever.
In high school Pascal class, while classmates struggled with basics, I wrote homework programs for the whole group โ each a unique twist so the teacher wouldn't catch on. (Thanks, Dad, for those stacks of old exam questions.) Two decades later, that problem-solving spark drives me as a Senior Backend Engineer building systems that handle real scale without breaking.
I thrive on turning messy monoliths into clean, event-driven architectures; mentoring juniors; and contributing to open-source. Currently at a leading Iranian fintech, scaling payment platforms to 3K+ req/s. Open to remote/EU roles in fintech or distributed systems.
Tech I love: Laravel, PHP, Kafka, Docker, TDD, DDD. What excites me: Chaos engineering, zero-downtime deploys, and code that just works under pressure.
