Ehsan Gazar
Staff Software Engineer at Tipalti
I'm a Staff Software Engineer with 16 years building and scaling production systems across fintech, SaaS, and enterprise software. I've made hundreds of architectural decisions in systems that had to survive real traffic, incidents, and org politics.
I've run 500+ mentorship sessions with senior engineers at a 5.0 rating, helping them close the gap between writing code and thinking at the architectural level. I've also taught 10,000+ students and distilled what separates engineers who get promoted from those who stay stuck.
I'm not an academic. Every framework here comes from real decisions or mistakes I had to recover from. I’ll teach you to think like a Staff Software Engineer: not “what’s the right answer,” but “what are the trade-offs, and what survives contact with reality.”
