About me

Building products with calm, repeatable delivery

I am Hamid Taheri, a project manager and software engineer who has been shipping software since 2009. After exploring many stacks, I have focused on JavaScript, TypeScript, and modern web since 2016. I thrive in roles where I can shape the architecture, coach teams, and keep delivery predictable.

I enjoy stepping into messy spaces—payments, BNPL, and platform work—aligning stakeholders, and leaving behind clear playbooks, design systems, and automation.

Signal

What I do

  • Architect and lead delivery for payment stacks, BNPL platforms, and user-centered portals.
  • Build design systems, onboarding playbooks, and CI/CD pipelines to keep teams fast and predictable.
  • Mentor engineers and managers, shaping hiring standards and growth paths.

Principles

How I lead

  • Empathy first: user-centered products with accessibility baked in.
  • Shape the system: clear architecture, conventions, and automation over heroics.
  • Ship in narrative: documents, roadmaps, and design reviews that align product and engineering.
