The Journey of Payam

Senior Software Engineer

The Beginning

My journey into the world of development began in 2010. As an independent freelancer, I was driven by the desire to create. Over seven transformative years, I crafted solutions for various clients, building projects like the Dena Porcelain Store and the Star VPN Store using cutting-edge technologies of the time. This period was instrumental in shaping my foundational skills and understanding of the industry.

Stepping into the Energy Sector

2017 marked a pivotal turn in my career. I joined Tabesh Rayan Energy in Tabriz, Iran. Here, I was introduced to the complexities of the energy sector. Using PHP, Laravel 4, and MySQL, I developed a web application that would revolutionize online energy management. This platform wasn't just about code; it was about enabling engineers to make informed decisions, enhancing user experiences, and promoting energy-efficient building practices.

Leading the Way

By 2018, my journey led me to a leadership role at Tahlilgaran. Entrusted with a team of 5 talented developers, we embarked on ambitious projects, building two comprehensive e-commerce web applications using Laravel 6 and Vue. Beyond development, I found joy in mentoring, providing technical support through a Support E-Ticketing Web Application developed with Laravel 5, and innovating in the e-learning space with platforms integrated with headless Moodle LMS.

Mastering Python

2019 was a year of specialization. Joining Tas'hil Gostar, I delved deep into Python. Leading the development of diverse Python-based applications, I explored realms from payroll to account management. My work here involved designing and implementing database models using Odoo ERP, ensuring data integrity, optimizing performance, and ensuring scalability. It solidified my belief in the power of Python and its vast applications.

Move to The Netherlands

My relocation to the Netherlands marked a significant milestone in my career. At OWOW Agency in Eindhoven, I embraced new challenges developing and maintaining cutting-edge full-stack applications. My toolkit expanded to include React and Next.js, alongside trusted companions Laravel and Vue. I specialized in React development and mastered Payload CMS, combining these with Shopify integrations and custom themes for diverse customers. Projects included award-winning headless Shopify implementations that showcased innovation and boundary-pushing development. I crafted custom Shopify applications, including an intricate pool cover configurator that delighted clients. Working with technologies like Docker, AWS, and Vercel, I witnessed firsthand the evolving landscape of web development. This chapter in the Netherlands laid the foundation for deeper expertise in modern frontend frameworks and headless commerce solutions.
