Hi, I'm Ali — I build warm, fast web experiences.
A front-end engineer with 5+ years crafting responsive, user-friendly interfaces in React, Next.js & TypeScript — currently helping scale the front-end at Snapp, Iran's largest ride-hailing platform.
Engineer at heart, teacher by nature.
I'm a software engineer focused on front-end development and design, with a solid computer-science foundation — a BSc from Qom University of Technology and an MSc at Shahid Beheshti University. For 5+ years I've built responsive, user-friendly web apps with JavaScript, TypeScript, React and Next.js.
I love continuous learning just as much as sharing it — I regularly run knowledge-sharing sessions and mentor junior developers. I care deeply about clean, maintainable code, web performance, and shipping quality products alongside great teams.
Performance-minded
SSR, Core Web Vitals and real-time data flows — I sweat load speed, LCP and the little details that make an app feel instant.
Clean & maintainable
TypeScript, shared UI kits, E2E tests and tidy CI/CD pipelines so codebases stay healthy as teams grow.
Loves to teach
Weekly knowledge-sharing, workshops and mentoring junior devs — I learn fastest by helping others level up.
