01.About

I'm a full-stack PHP developer with 16+ years of experience building for the web. I've worked across the PHP ecosystem — Laravel, Symfony and WordPress — from custom plugins and APIs to high-traffic, multisite platforms.

Today I lead WordPress development at SiGMA World, where I'm responsible for architecture, code quality and shipping reliable features at scale. I'm a fast learner who likes out-of-comfort-zone challenges, and a huge fan of clean, performant, maintainable code.

My path runs from freelancing in Tehran to backend roles in Iran, then Malta, and now Munich, Germany. When I'm not deep in code, I'm usually exploring new tools, mentoring developers, or tinkering with side projects.
