Persian-first EdTech & learning-commerce platform

NOTEashti.academy runs version 1 of the platform — the release I implemented together with my team.

A right-to-left digital education platform that carries the whole learner lifecycle in one product — discovery, evaluation, purchase, access, learning, progress — plus the admin system that operates it.

• Multi-format marketplace — courses, e-books, webinars, consultations, bundles — with search, category filters, sorting, discounts, and ratings
• End-to-end commerce: multi-item cart, quick purchase, discount codes, checkout, payment confirmation, and order history with purchased-content access
• Personalized learner dashboard — continue-learning flows, progress visualization, recommendations, learning goals, and recent activity
• Strapi-backed content system, Novu notification workflows (OTP, email verification, purchase receipts), and Chatwoot support ticketing
• Admin console for products, categories, users, roles, orders, transactions, marketing campaigns, and platform reporting

Persian wellness, education & personalized-lifestyle platform

A Persian RTL wellness ecosystem unifying educational content, yoga programs, courses, personalized diet plans, consultations, webinars and physical products — from first article read to owned-program access and progress tracking, plus the admin environment that operates it.

• Multi-format marketplace — courses, e-books, webinars, consultations, diet plans, physical products, bundles — with category navigation, search, sorting, availability states, ratings and discounts
• Product-type-specific detail pages: instructor and program information, learning outcomes, duration, rating distributions, reviews, FAQs, related offerings and purchase actions
• Video-based learning delivery with section navigation, notes, resources, Q&A, completion states and progress across owned programs
• Personalized diet plans — macro targets, daily and weekly meal schedules, hydration and key-nutrient tracking, plan progress and consultation booking
• Registration and authentication with Persian form validation, OTP verification, password recovery and protected learner areas
• Administrative platform for products, articles, media library, transactions, users and analytics on revenue, growth, retention and product performance

Personal ideation, action tracking & reflection platform

A goal-personalized platform that closes the loop between having an idea and doing something about it — capture, decompose into actions, record real attempts, reflect, measure consistency, and share for feedback. One continuous system where notes, task managers, habit trackers and journals normally sit disconnected.

• Multi-step onboarding that captures primary motivation and focus areas, then personalizes the dashboard, prompts and suggestions
• Idea lifecycle management — descriptions, six-stage statuses, custom tags, timestamps — with decomposition into small, trackable actions
• Try Tracker for daily attempts: reflection notes, calendar activity, try counts, success rate and streak-based engagement
• Guided journal with rotating daily prompts, idea-linked reflection questions, suggested exercises, search and idea-based filtering
• Weekly insights on entry totals, writing streaks, average words per entry, journaling consistency and mood trends
• Privacy-aware sharing across private, trusted-contact and public-link visibility, with feedback requests, invitations and view/comment permissions
• Expression composer turning ideas and journal entries into publishable posts — tone and length templates, media, tags, live preview, drafts and publishing history

Real-time multiplayer mobile game backend · Dec 2023 – May 2024

Architected and implemented the complete backend and infrastructure for a real-time online Mafia/Werewolf mobile game using a microservices and event-driven architecture — two engineers, a Qt native client on the other side of the API, and a production Ubuntu deployment.

• Server-authoritative game engine — role assignment, day/night phases, player actions, voting and elimination, special abilities, turn timers and win-condition evaluation
• Nakama owned matchmaking, lobbies and presence while a dedicated service stayed authoritative over game rules and state
• Reconnection and state restoration, match history, and server-side validation against cheating
• WebSockets for application events and chat; WebRTC room voice over Coturn-backed STUN/TURN, with voice state tied to game and player state
• Event-driven service communication over RabbitMQ — decoupled domain events, retry and delivery handling, state recovery
• Redis for fast operational state (sessions, active rooms, live game state, caching); MongoDB for accounts, match records and persistent business data
• Full auth lifecycle: phone + OTP, email, username/password, JWT access and refresh tokens, password hashing, session and device revocation, account recovery
• Virtual commerce and entitlement architecture — coins, subscriptions, avatars, skins, wallet, purchase records and entitlement validation
• Ubuntu production deployment with Docker Compose, Nginx and Coturn, webhook-driven CI/CD, server hardening and per-service logging

Backend MVP completed and accepted; the product was discontinued before public release.

IoT automation & interactive game platform · Persian RTL game-master dashboard

An integrated cyber-physical escape-room platform connecting custom electronic puzzle devices, network-addressable controllers, relay-driven mechanisms, tag interactions, environmental audio and player-facing digital puzzles. A software command propagates through the network and causes a real physical response in the room.

• Persian RTL React/TypeScript game-master dashboard — puzzle and device monitoring, connectivity inspection, manual overrides, signal testing and per-game settings
• Configurable trigger → action mapping: a tag or physical signal is detected, matched to a rule, and routed to a network device endpoint that drives a relay, LED or mechanism
• Relay and mechanism control with device-specific commands, parameter values, delays, status monitoring and manual recovery paths
• Individual controllers treated as managed, independently addressable devices instead of hard-coding the room as one giant mechanism
• Tag/card interaction workflows — identification, trigger discovery, and mapping identifiers to network-addressable responses
• Wireless and portable device management: discovery, device IDs, signal feedback, connectivity state, enable/disable controls
• Room-aware audio system — upload, media library, playlists, track selection, transport controls, volume and per-room environmental cues
• Team and session management — registration, participant details, contact data, ages, session dates, listings and record editing
• Player-facing browser 3D brain puzzle with interactive controls, progress state, visual feedback, completion logic and final score
