What I do

Where I can
help most.

Four kinds of work I take on, for employers and for clients.

Backend systems

APIs and services that hold up under real use.

What that looks like

Server-side applications built with Laravel, Node.js, and NestJS, with a data model that fits the product.

  • REST and gRPC APIs
  • Laravel · Node.js · NestJS
  • MySQL and PostgreSQL

Microservices

Services that talk to each other clearly.

What that looks like

Experience on microservice projects where separate services share contracts and sit behind an API gateway.

  • Shared, versioned contracts
  • Queues, caching, and search
  • API gateways

Team leadership

A team lead who still writes the code.

What that looks like

I lead the backend team at Raha Ertebat and led a team at PomTech ICT Solutions, while staying hands-on.

  • Leading development teams
  • Hands-on development
  • Working with foreign clients

Full delivery

From the database to the deployed website.

What that looks like

When a project needs one person to build the whole thing, I do that too, from the data model to the pages.

  • Laravel and React
  • Linux, Nginx, and Docker
  • Handover and follow-up work

About

Developer by craft.
Builder by nature.

Herat, Afghanistan. Persian, English, Pashto, and Urdu.

I started in 2016 with Java desktop and Android applications, led a team at PomTech ICT Solutions, and headed IT at the State Ministry for Peace, where I built Django and computer vision applications. Today I lead the backend team at Raha Ertebat.

Alongside development, I’ve worked as an accountant with Zoho Books, which helps me understand the business side of the systems I build.
