The Alchemist
Every wizard has a origin story. Here's mine.
My journey began not in a tower, but in a dimly lit room at 2 AM, staring at a blinking cursor on a black screen. The first time I made a webpage say "Hello, World," I felt a spark — the same spark alchemists must have felt turning lead into gold.
That curiosity became a craft. Over the years, I found my calling not in flashy spells, but in the invisible magic that keeps modern products alive. I chose the path of the Backend Engineer, learning to forge APIs, tame distributed systems, and breathe order into sprawling legacy codebases. Every service refined, every bottleneck removed, and every deployment completed felt like another successful transmutation.
Today, my work helps power a platform serving 40 million+ users. I enjoy translating complex business ideas into reliable software, collaborating with product and engineering teams, and building systems that quietly do their job day after day. To me, the greatest magic isn't making something appear—it's making complexity disappear.
Circles of Study
ParsTasmim (MTN Irancell) — Forging backend systems for an e-shop serving 40M+ users. Refactoring legacy Flask services, migrating scheduled cronjobs to Celery Beat, improving observability with Elasticsearch, and mentoring the next generation of backend alchemists.
Ario — Crafted REST APIs with Django, built IoT integrations, and deployed automation spells that gathered data from the digital world. Worked closely with clients to transform business needs into dependable backend systems.
Earned a B.Sc. in Robotics Engineering at Shahrood University of Technology, where curiosity for machines gradually evolved into a passion for software craftsmanship.
Continued mastering the craft through the Meta Back-End Developer Specialization, AWS training, Redis, Linux (LPIC-1), and countless hours refining the art of building reliable distributed systems.
The Grimoire
Testimonials from allies and scrolls of ancient knowledge.
Working with Mohammadreza felt like having a master wizard on our team. She turned our chaotic ideas into a polished product that our users absolutely love. Her attention to detail is nothing short of magical.
I've worked with many developers, but Mohammadreza brings something special. She doesn't just write code — she crafts experiences. Every pixel, every animation, every interaction feels intentional and alive.
Mohammadreza redesigned our entire platform and the results were beyond our expectations. User engagement increased 75% and our bounce rate dropped by half. She's a true digital alchemist.
