Farhad Arjmand
Backend engineer and technology leader based in Tehran.
I build backend systems with Node.js, NestJS, PHP and Go. I've also worked as a CTO, CEO and team lead. At Mirorim, I built the team from the start; the wider team grew to around 50 people across engineering, product and related functions. At MOM, I assembled the engineering team and worked on healthcare software as both a developer and CTO.
My work
I work on backend development and system architecture, alongside hiring, code reviews and coordinating releases across backend, frontend and mobile teams.
My database experience includes PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Cassandra, Elasticsearch and vector databases. I also work with AWS, Kubernetes and Docker, and use LLMs and AI coding tools in development.
Backend is my main specialty. I also work with React Native and Flutter and have familiarity with Vue, Nuxt and React.
Public and private projects
Most of my commercial code is private. My more recent public samples are on GitHub and my portfolio.
I'm looking for CTO, engineering management, technical lead or senior backend work in Tehran, or with remote teams that can work with someone based in Iran.
Persian is my native language; my English is intermediate.
