Jafar Naghizadeh

Senior Software Engineer / PHP / Laravel in Tehran, Iran

Hire me

Hi, I'm Jafar. For me, software development has always been about more than just lines of code. It's about architecture, craftsmanship, and the art of turning a complex problem into a simple, elegant solution. It's about building systems that not only work efficiently but are also built to last.

I've spent over 14 years on this path as a Senior Software Engineer. My most defining journey was architecting a social platform from its first line of PHP and scaling it to a vibrant community of over 40,000 people. That experience taught me that the best technology is the kind that empowers and connects us.

Beyond the keyboard, I'm a lifelong learner with a love for books 📚, music 🎶, and yoga 🧘‍♂️. I speak Turkish 🇹🇷, Persian 🇮🇷, and English 🇬🇧, and am currently learning Dutch 🇳🇱 to better connect with my next professional home.

I am now actively seeking a new senior role in Europe and I'm excited to bring my passion for building great products to a new team. Don't hesitate to reach out if you'd like to connect.
