Profile

Fundamentals-first backend engineer with strong foundations in data structures, algorithms, and systems design. I care about correctness, readability, and open-source collaboration.

Core Skills

Computer Science: data structures, algorithms, complexity analysis.
Languages: Python (4+ years), C (Love)
Frameworks: Django, Django REST Framework
Async & Messaging: Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis.
Database: PostgreSQL.
Tools: Git, Linux, Docker (basic).

Projects

Web / API

Suniar (Python, Django, DRF, Celery, RabbitMQ, C, Redis): Backend microservice for solar plant monitoring APIs using Django REST Framework.
Webitern (Pyhton, Django, DRF, Celery, RabbitMQ, Redis): Full backend API development for an educational service focused on programming and technology.

Local Server Lab (Linux, Networking, C, Python): Personal home server setup for experimenting with networking, security, and performance tools.
Bitfiddler (Linux, Networking, C): A personal collection of small experiments in low-level programming, mostly in C — sometimes other old-school stuff (e.g., Perl or Bash). This is not a library, framework, or anything reusable. It's just code I write to understand how things work under the hood.
GitHub

System Low-Level Developed small utilities and reimplemented classic Unix commands (e.g., wc, cat) to explore low-level system design and performance.

Education

Associate Degree. — Science & Art - Yazd, Iran (2024).

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science.

Continuous self-learning in algorithms, systems programming, and open-source development.
