MJ Dashtaki
About

Built for the web.
Crafted for people.

I'm MJ, a Principal Frontend Engineer with 10+ years in product engineering, across Angular, React, and Svelte. I own architecture and technical direction, stay hands-on shipping AI-native products, and mentor the engineers around me.

I care about the part of software people touch, and the part they never see but always feel.

Experience

Where I've worked

Mar 2026 - Sept 2026

Reiner AI

An AI platform for engineering, planning and architecture teams, where I was the sole frontend engineer owning architecture and technical direction for the whole web platform. I shipped the flagship AI features, tender analysis and human-in-the-loop review, rebuilt the chat experience, and built the testing and observability foundations from zero.

Mar 2025 - Mar 2026

Mondoo

A cloud-native security platform providing visibility, compliance and governance for cloud infrastructure. I owned the frontend architecture roadmap from RFC through codebase-wide adoption, established the team's E2E testing foundation, and shipped the AI workflow for reviewing and triaging AI-flagged compliance risks.

Aug 2021 - Feb 2025

epilot

A SaaS platform for utilities, grid operators and solution providers, digitalizing sales, service and grid processes. I led the micro-frontend architecture in a serverless AWS environment, built the Customer and Installer self-service portals from scratch, and delivered a 4x improvement in application response time.

Jul 2020 - Jul 2021

Azolver

A cloud-based parcel tracking solution that lets you define, track, manage, search and report on all incoming parcels. I led TRAX from inception to production launch, owning both the technical and product roadmaps, and built reusable frontend systems for web (Angular) and mobile (Ionic).

Aug 2019 - Jun 2020

Devolon

A P2P lending service connecting investors with private persons in need of financing. Built at Devolon alongside Lentoparkki, a licence plate parking product, working closely with product owners and UX.

2023 - Present

Open source

Open source service that contradicts the fundamental 'right to be forgotten'. Dedicated to upholding this crucial right for users of Persian-language services, applications, and platforms, enabling them to permanently delete their accounts and regain control over their digital presence.

Oct 2017 - Jul 2019

Sava Arman Kish Co.

Lead Frontend Developer · Full-time · Tehran Province, Iran

Led a team of frontend developers building Bitex, a cryptocurrency exchange platform, owning technical decisions and cross-team delivery coordination. Optimised the trading experience for real-time data performance over WebSocket, with NgRx state management and Jenkins CI for the frontend.

Jul 2012 - Sep 2017

Rayvarz Software Engineering

Senior Frontend Developer · Part-time · Tehran Province, Iran

Built HR platforms and internal tools for enterprise clients over five years, working across AngularJS and Angular as the stack evolved. Owned the full software lifecycle including unit, integration and E2E testing and CI/CD pipelines, contributing across the stack in C#/.NET and SQL.
