SKILLS
ABOUT SAMAN JAFARI
I’ve been in tech and leadership for most of my life. I started young, curious about how things worked, and even more curious about why they broke.By my early 20s, I had co-founded a digital agency and served as its CEO. I also launched an internet radio station and podcast platform, where we covered a wide range of topics, from technology and civil engineering to law and social issues. Around six teams worked together to produce content, run seminars, and build a small but committed community.Alongside my work in tech and media, I explored photography and eventually held exhibitions in Germany.I\'m a generalist in tech, from backend developer to engineering executive. From solo contributor to leading cross-functional teams. From firefighting legacy systems to building future-proof platforms. I’ve scaled companies, transformed cultures, and shipped real results.Now, with around two decades in tech and leadership, I work as a CTO. I\'ve helped modernize legacy systems, scale platforms, and guide teams through change. I\'ve contributed to architecture, infrastructure, hiring, mentoring, coaching, and more. But what I’m most proud of is helping people find clarity in chaos and seeing others grow.My technical background spans a wide range of tools and environments.Languages: Java, Go, Python, PHP, JavaScript, Groovy, Bash.Infrastructure: Kubernetes, Docker, Kafka, Ansible, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Swarm, Podman, NATS, Redis Streams, MinIO, ELK, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenAPI.If it supports backend systems, I’ve likely built with it, scaled it, or helped clean it up.I believe that good technology starts with people. I lead with clarity, mentor with purpose, and focus on solving meaningful problems with thoughtful teams.If you value depth, clarity, and honest conversations, I’d love to hear from you.
