I'm Hesam Alavi, a Senior Software Engineer based in Brisbane, Australia. I've spent over a decade building web applications, APIs, and internal tools that help businesses operate more efficiently and compete more effectively.

What sets me apart is my extensive experience as a founder of multiple startups. I've been in your shoes—dealing with limited budgets, tight timelines, and the pressure to validate ideas quickly. This firsthand experience means I understand the full business picture: not just how to write code, but why certain technical decisions matter for your business model, customer acquisition, revenue streams, and long-term growth.

I specialize in building MVPs that are both technically sound and strategically focused. I know how to prioritize features that matter, avoid over-engineering, and create solutions that can evolve from prototype to production without costly rewrites. My startup experience has taught me to think about the entire business ecosystem: how your product fits into the market, how it integrates with your operations, and how it scales as you grow.

My approach is straightforward: understand the business problem first, then design and build the right solution. I believe in clean code, thoughtful UX, and systems that are maintainable long after I've moved on to the next project.

I work as a technical partner, not just a contractor. This means I'm invested in your success, communicate clearly about trade-offs and decisions, and build solutions that scale with your business. Having built and run my own companies, I bring a founder's perspective to every project—thinking about unit economics, operational efficiency, and sustainable growth from day one.
