I’m Mohammad Hossein Taher, a software engineer from Tehran. Since 2016 I’ve gone from cutting website templates with Gulp and Jade to leading engineering as CTO — for a home-care healthcare product in Finland, an AI dubbing platform, and a blockchain product. My backend is Go with DDD and hexagonal architecture; my frontend is React and Next.js. I’ve mentored juniors on weekends since my first job, run a frontend bootcamp, and I’m starting a podcast. I write case studies that include the part that went wrong.
Front Masters, the Persian frontend bootcamp I ran, went from HTML to deployment in three cohorts — around 40 students, roughly a dozen of whom were hired as junior frontend developers. After that the teaching moved to video: about 30 Persian tutorials on YouTube and Aparat, including “Go for frontend developers” and “Docker for frontend devs”. The full story is on TaherSoft.
Now
Writing case studies, recording the first podcast season, open to CTO / staff-engineer roles.
