Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAfshin Mehrabani is a senior software engineer based in Dublin with 15 years of experience building scalable web and infrastructure systems across startups and large tech firms, now at Microsoft. He is polyglot across Python, PHP, JavaScript/TypeScript and has driven modularisation, containerised developer environments, and IaC work at Etsy, plus provisioning and CI/CD automation for datacenter and cloud. Afshin combines backend systems work—contributing callback semantics and tests to socket.io/engine.io—with front-end polish, adding UX features and responsive design to Grid.js, Intro.js and other popular open-source projects. He often straddles product and platform concerns, shipping developer tooling (self-service VM management, Terraform automation) that shortens feedback loops for teams. Notably, his open-source contributions include adding core features and memory-backed storage to the widely used gridjs table library, reflecting a blend of pragmatic engineering and attention to developer experience.
