How Did I Begin My Journey in Software Development?
After completing my studies, I was eager to find a path that matched both my interests and technical skills. Initially, I began working in the financial technology sector, where I quickly developed a strong foundation in backend development. My passion for problem-solving and innovation led me to take on challenging projects in core banking, mobile banking, and payment systems.
Alongside my work, I pursued continuous learning in software engineering, diving deep into Java, .NET, cloud technologies, and software architecture. Through hands-on experience and dedicated study, I honed my skills in designing scalable systems and delivering efficient solutions for complex business needs. This journey not only shaped my technical expertise but solidified my commitment to building robust, impactful applications.
A Period of Transition and Growth
After several years working in the fintech and banking sector, I encountered a period of reflection and recalibration. Realizing I wanted to further refine my technical skills and explore new challenges, I decided to take time to focus on my professional development. During this period, I expanded my expertise in backend engineering, deepened my understanding of cloud platforms, and strengthened my skills in Java, .NET, and DevOps practices.
How I Landed My First Software Engineering Role?
After completing my studies and honing my technical skills, I set my sights on building a career in software engineering. I immersed myself in learning as much as possible, focusing on backend development, API integration, and cloud technologies. Determined to gain real-world experience, I joined a company as an apprentice, working hands-on for four months without compensation to build my skills and industry knowledge.
Continuing to Enhance My Skills
After gaining valuable experience in my first role, I realized it was time to seek new challenges to further develop my skills. I decided to move on and looked for a more advanced company where I could expand my expertise and tackle different projects. This led me to join DPI, where I had the opportunity to deepen my knowledge and broaden my technical skills, including learning additional programming languages and exploring new areas in software development.
Looking Ahead: Building My Own Path
While I had a stable role and was working on impactful projects, I always envisioned building something of my own in the software development field. During my time at various companies, including DPI in Iran and later roles across Europe, I developed a deep understanding of backend systems, API integrations, and the architecture of secure financial platforms.
Even as I focused on delivering high-quality solutions for clients, I began planning to take on independent projects, introducing my work to potential clients and building a network. Though the shift from a steady position to independent work was challenging, I knew that staying on my current path might eventually limit my growth. This vision drove me to take the leap, ultimately creating a path for myself that aligned with my skills, interests, and ambition for innovation in software engineering.
What Happened Along the Way?
Interestingly, after leaving my role and venturing into independent work, there was initially a period of uncertainty. I wondered if I’d made the right choice. However, as time went on, I reconnected with former colleagues and industry contacts who introduced me to new clients and opportunities. These connections led to exciting projects that allowed me to leverage my skills in backend engineering, API integration, and financial tech solutions.
Alongside these projects, I gradually discovered new strategies for connecting with clients, building a steady flow of work, and expanding my professional network. This journey reinforced my belief in the path I’d chosen and motivated me to continue building a career driven by my expertise and passion.
Belief Beyond Words
After years of experience, I’ve reached a point where I trust both my abilities and the impact of my work. I’ve come to realize that with dedication, calculated risks, and the willingness to learn through trial and error, almost anything is achievable. This journey has been more than just career-building; it’s been about constant growth and believing in what’s possible.
I remain committed to improving my skills and pushing the boundaries of what I can achieve in software development. For me, this is only the beginning—each step forward is another opportunity to make a meaningful impact and continue on a path of continuous progress.
