Saman Abaasi

I am Saman Abaasi, a Frontend Engineer from Tehran, Iran, with more than 7 years of experience working with React and TypeScript. I am currently a Staff Frontend Engineer and Squad Lead at MTN Irancell, where I lead a small team building a Camunda-based workflow platform that is replacing a long-running Huawei OWS production system. Before MTN I was a Senior Frontend Engineer at Digikala, Iran's largest e-commerce platform, leading UIKit development across 60+ components. I spend my free time reading source code and writing about it. I have published three in-depth technical series: "How JavaScript Works" (10 parts), "How React Works Under the Hood" (9 parts, source-verified against React's internals), and a 23-part series on extending bpmn-io form-js in production. Published on dev.to, JavaScript in Plain English, and StackAcademia. I am an invited speaker at React Day Berlin 2026 (December 4 & 7, GitNation), where this will be my first conference talk.
