Iran's largest online advertising network, serving 25M+ unique users and 5 billion impressions/month.

  • Led two stages of evolving the Najva panel - a retention marketing SaaS platform (email, SMS, push notifications) - as its sole frontend engineer: first an internal refactor to fix legacy frontend issues and integrate new backend APIs, then authored a full rewrite proposal and owned the 12-month migration to Next.js, learning React on the fly, defining architecture, coordinating with backend/SRE, and shipping iteratively.
  • Owned the client-side implementation of the in-house Email product to eliminate third-party dependency; built core sub-modules from scratch and integrated an open-source React editor into the Nuxt.js dashboard using an iFrame and postMessage bridge, managing delivery timelines closely with the backend team.
  • Rebuilt the distributed client-side SDK and Service Worker alongside a backend engineer, migrating from per-customer script deployments to a single CDN-based runtime and a flag-driven modular entry point; resolved legacy Firebase, scope collision, and API proxy conflicts, reducing average load delay across 20,000+ websites from 1.3s to 0.3s.
  • Built reporting and operational workflows across SaaS dashboards, including large data tables, charts, Excel exports, interactive invoice and pro forma invoice forms, and print-ready documents.
  • Developed contact management and audience segmentation features for Najva, including custom contact attributes across email, SMS, and push channels.
  • Contributed to privileged internal support workflows allowing authorized staff to access customer panels and perform restricted support operations.
  • Acted as the sole frontend engineer for a parallel SMS advertising product, working directly with the business owner to shape features, prioritise delivery and ship production releases while continuing to lead the Najva rewrite.
  • Collaborated within a 6-engineer team to maintain and scale Nuxt.js CSR advertiser and publisher dashboards, while contributing to YektaUI, the company's shared internal UI kit.
  • Assumed temporary frontend ownership of a unified authentication platform (monorepo) for 3 months, delivering features consumed across multiple products within the holding.
  • Actively engaged in technical planning with product teams, helping to propose simpler delivery strategies and balance technical quality with business priorities.
  • Briefly mentored a junior frontend engineer joining a neighbouring team.
  • Maintained CI/CD pipelines, monitored Kubernetes pods, and handled production issues independently.
  • Worked with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to instrument dashboards with custom events.

Summary

Product-minded Frontend Engineer with 8+ years of experience turning ambiguous product problems into shipped, reliable software. I default to asking why before how: writing technical proposals, pushing back on scope when it doesn't serve the user, and adapting to any tech stack (e.g., migrating from Vue.js to React.js mid-project) to deliver business value. Proven track record of taking full ownership from architecture through to production monitoring, both in cross-functional teams and as a sole engineer. Comfortable operating without a dedicated PM or designer when the situation calls for it, and just as comfortable defending a technical or product opinion when it matters.
