Portrait of Vafa Nobakht

Hi, I'm Vafa — a full-stack developer from Iran with 5+ years of experience. I love building clean, responsive interfaces with React and Next.js, and I'm comfortable going down the stack to Django, databases and deployment when a project needs it.

My journey.

I studied Computer Engineering at BIHE University and taught mathematics for a few years along the way — which taught me to break hard problems into small, clear steps. I started with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, then moved to React and TypeScript, and later to Next.js.

I spent 5 years as a React / Next.js developer on a product team. Now I build complete websites for clients — from marketing sites for businesses in Melbourne to a white-label shop platform in Iran.

What I'm learning now.

Server-side Next.js

Server Actions, caching and the metadata API — moving more work to the server so pages load fast and rank well in search.

Backend & deployment

Django REST, PostgreSQL, Redis and Docker — building and shipping the full picture of a modern web app, end to end.
