Summary
Behnam Rahimpour is a Senior Backend Engineer with five years of hands-on experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems across e-commerce, ISP, cloud, and smart-home domains. He has moved from front-end lead to backend ownership, designing a 24-microservice platform serving ~150K users and modernizing delivery with NATS JetStream, Semantic Versioning, and GitOps. Known for pragmatic engineering, he introduced Unit of Work and Saga patterns to fix consistency issues, raised test coverage to 80%+ with TDD/BDD, and improved scalability and reliability through observability and idempotent processing. Comfortable across the stack (React, Node.js, Go, TypeScript), he also led cross-functional teams, established BFF and CI optimizations that halved test times, and shifted teams to Scrumban. Notably, he combines deep performance tuning (O(1) frontend read optimizations and 30% web-vitals gains) with production-grade backend orchestration. Based in Russia, he brings a blend of systems thinking, pragmatic architecture, and a track record of shipping measurable operational improvements.
