My main skills

Every person is known for some of their skills and abilities. Here are some of mine. Important ones!

Product Manager

As a Product Manager, I enjoy collaborating with diverse teams to transform ideas into impactful products. Through running Cafekado.org and founding AlignedVoyage, alongside completing invaluable business courses, I've developed a strong skill set in marketing, design, finance, and teamwork. My background in web development further enhances my ability to drive projects from concept to execution.Ï

Product Design

With over 10 years of experience in UI and UX design, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate closely with product owners, customers, designers, and engineering teams to craft beautiful, user-centric experiences. By leveraging design principles such as color theory, typography, hierarchy, advanced prototyping, and microinteractions, I’m able to create intuitive, elegant, and shippable product designs that meet both user needs and business goals.

Front-End Development

Designing web applications and websites initially didn’t feel like enough for me. I wanted to create exactly what I imagined, which led me to focus on React.js, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Bootstrap, Ant Design (AntD), JavaScript, and jQuery. I’m also strongly into design patterns, continually applying them to improve code structure and maintainability. While I have experience with C#, PHP, and C, these are not central to my current work.

My Experience Timeline

My Career Story at a Glance

Since starting university, I’ve been driven by a passion for creating something meaningful—a product that can make a real difference in people’s lives. That passion still fuels me today. I’m deeply invested in product design and development, striving to contribute as part of a product team in roles such as product designer, product manager, or front-end developer. Explore my journey and milestones in the timeline below, showcasing how I’ve pursued this vision up to 2025.

Front-End Web Developer

In January 2024, I embarked on an exciting journey with Dynamic-e, a Netherlands-based subsidiary of Foton Energy. Tasked with leading the front-end development for an innovative start-up project, our mission was to enhance energy efficiency through AI integration. Collaborating with a diverse team—including AI scientists in Turkey, a UX designer in Germany, and a back-end developer in Europe—we customized a complex Next.js and React.js template from ThemeForest. Utilizing tools like Redux, Axios, React Hook Form (RHF), and Tailwind CSS, we built a responsive and scalable website. Our collective efforts culminated in a successful demo day in the Netherlands by March 2024.

Transition to Foton Energy

Recognizing the success of the Dynamic-e project, I transitioned to Foton Energy's main team in April 2024. Here, I contribute to the development of an online energy certificate marketplace. Leveraging Next.js, React.js, and Chart.js for data visualizations, I apply robust software engineering principles to ensure code quality and performance optimization. Our tech stack includes React Query, Axios, Redux, React Hooks, Formik, Zod, and Tailwind CSS. Working alongside backend engineers, product designers, and DevOps specialists, we manage comprehensive project documentation using Miro, Confluence, and Figma. Coordination is streamlined through GitHub for version control and Jira for task management, facilitating efficient sprint planning and task assignments.

Product manager | Front-End Web Developer

In 2019, I joined Web Like Web Agency, an Australian digital solutions company, as a front-end developer. Working with a 4-person team, we used React.js, Next.js, Redux, and React Hook Forms to deliver fast, modern SPAs and applications. Collaborating with backend developers, UX designers, and clients, I ensured seamless communication through regular meetings and demo days. Over four years, I contributed to multiple projects for SMEs in Australia, Canada, and Europe, crafting tailored solutions across various industries while ensuring technical excellence and user-focused design.

Over the past two years, in collaboration with a 15-person team, we have successfully designed and developed more than 10 products. These solutions have enhanced communication within the organization, bridging gaps between various departments and facilitating interactions with users across multiple countries. Our products support four languages—English, Russian, Turkish, and Farsi—enabling seamless communication and engagement on a global scale.

Founding my Startup

In the beginning, Cafekado was like a laboratory for me for learning more about Product and service design, Asp.net web forms development, OOP programming, digital marketing, SEO, and E-commerce. After a while it got serious for me many people knew me because of it and the news of it on the press and Tv.
Cafekado had a great benchmark Etsy.com and at that time I spent more than 3 hours reading articles on the Etsy blog and learned many things about creating a platform, creating a community of users, educating processes, and so on.

Accepting in Gilan Science and Technology Park

As a new business, we needed some financial and technical support and at that time Gilan science and technology park accepted our online RFID-oriented warehouse application.We used its mentorship and financial support to grow our business and find new customers.

Memories

Photo Albume

I am in favor of photos. They remind me of the moments which were crucial for me, the moments making me, Shaping me, and building what I am.

The goal isn't just to create a product; it's to provide convenience and meaningful value to users

Identifying the core value to be created and introduced is the foremost responsibility of a Product Manager in every project. This begins with asking the right questions and focusing on what truly matters to deliver meaningful outcomes. From my perspective, a well-crafted user experience is the natural result of this deliberate and thoughtful process.

What people think about me

There were dozen of customers who became my friends, and dozen of workmates who became my close friends. I asked them to give me a recommendation and there are their kind testimonials for me.

"Reza is a top-notch UI/UX designer and Product Manager. I had the pleasure of working with Reza for more than 4 years and I highly recommend him. He is always seeking to get to the core of the business value and applies design thinking to challenges. Also, he has a great sense of humour that makes working with him a fun experience. I would be delighted to work with Reza again."

PhD Student at ETS University

Reza is one of the best person I've met. We were colleague in Atrearian company. We worked together for almost 3 years. Some times in office and sometimes via Internet. He was our project manager at company's online projects. He is intelligent, passionate , creative, team player, and important point about him is he can manage all the group guys and if we couldn't do something he went out of his way to help us. I always trust him and after many years of finishing our project if I have problem about any softwares such as Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft office and also social medias, Website managing and so on, I ask him. On our common project he designed and developed our websites.Those days we work hard and also close together to handle our website that had more than 7000 visitors per day
