The Coder Behind the Console and the Guitar Strings 🎸🎮

Hey there! I'm Aien (pronounced Āyīn) and I'm an 🇮🇷Iranian software engineer from 🇩🇪Germany, and my journey into the world of coding began back in 2004. Back then, I was experimenting with Multimedia Builder, convinced I was on the cutting edge of software development. Turns out, it was only the beginning of a much bigger adventure. 🚀

A year later, I found myself using Visual Basic 6, building Windows applications for nearly six years. But it didn’t stop there. I eventually transitioned into web development, a space where I’ve had the privilege of working with companies of all shapes and sizes. Each role taught me something new — not just about coding, but also about collaboration, problem-solving, and building strong development teams. 🖥️💼

So, what’s in my toolbox these days?

I’ve had hands-on experience with Node.js, TypeScript, Go, Java, and PHP. But if I’m being honest, Go has a special place in my heart ❤️. It just clicks with the way I think, similar to how playing guitar feels natural to me. In fact, I’ve always seen a connection between the patterns in tech and the storytelling rhythm of directors like Mike Flanagan — one of my all-time favorites. 🎥🎬

Looking ahead, my sights are set on growing into a well-rounded full-stack software architect and, who knows, maybe even stepping into a CTO role one day. The future’s wide open, and I’m ready to build it one line of code at a time. 🎨

But here’s the thing — while I love the technical side of development, I’m equally passionate about the people side. Connecting with others, learning from them, and sharing ideas is just as rewarding as solving a complex bug. Whether it’s through email exchanges 📧, comments on my website, or conversations at tech meetups, every connection adds something valuable to my journey.

If any part of this story resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you. Let's swap ideas, chat about the latest trends, or just geek out over our favorite tech tools. Here’s to building better software — and better connections — together. 🍻
