Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBabak Badaei is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Francisco with over two decades of hands-on experience building and architecting web applications, databases, and developer workflows. He brings deep expertise in PostgreSQL, TypeScript, functional programming, and full-stack JavaScript frameworks (React/Vue), combined with a pragmatic backend pedigree in Python, Ruby, Perl, and PHP. At Microsoft Viva Pulse he leads performance and DX improvements, mentors engineers, and prototypes integrations of LLMs to enhance both product and internal engineering loops. Earlier roles include modernizing ML product UIs at LinkedIn/Glint and long-term architecture and delivery leadership running his own consultancy, Hemaka, across high-traffic commerce and R&D projects. He favors thoughtful design—from wireframes and RFCs to production code—and is as interested in developer experience and measurable product metrics as in low-level performance tuning. Beyond code, his background in teaching and breakdancing hints at a patient, creative communicator who enjoys translating complex problems into elegant, usable solutions.
