About Mahdi

Hands-on engineering depth, paired with clear technical leadership.

Based in Berlin and working everywhere—entirely online. I bring ten years of experience designing, modernizing, and operating high-scale software systems.

Professional profile

Systems built for the real world.

I specialize in software architecture, distributed systems, Go, cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, event-driven systems, reliability engineering, and agentic AI.

My career spans business-critical platforms in logistics, mobility, finance, education, and GPS tracking. I combine hands-on implementation with architectural decision-making, migrations, engineering RFCs, reusable service foundations, mentoring, and technical workshops.

At Delivery Hero, I lead technically complex initiatives for global logistics systems. Before that, I helped modernize large-scale platforms at Snapp!, TopsGame, and GO GPS.

I care about clear technical decisions, explicit tradeoffs, dependable operations, and technology choices that follow the actual problem rather than fashion.
