About
I'm Thomas Azarian, a Full-Stack Software Engineer who works across the entire lifecycle of a software system — from the first architectural decision to the production deployment that real users depend on.
I don't just use frameworks. I build them. Most of my work sits below the surface that a typical frontend engineer operates at: designing the data model before the dashboard, deciding how a system fails before deciding how it looks, and building the tooling that makes a codebase maintainable a year later, not just impressive in a demo.
That shows up as SaaS platforms built end to end, a software framework of my own, data pipelines that clean and score real business data at scale, and financial technology that has to be both fast and correct. The common thread is ownership — I'm usually the person who designed the architecture, wrote the backend, built the frontend, and shipped it.
I work primarily in TypeScript, JavaScript, Python and Node.js, with Next.js and React as my default toolkit for anything user-facing — but the stack is a means, not the identity. What I actually care about is understanding a problem well enough to build the smallest correct system that solves it, and being able to move fast without breaking the parts that matter.
How I think about software
- Build
- If the right tool doesn't exist, build it.
- Understand
- Don't just use abstractions. Understand what's underneath them.
- Ship
- A technically perfect system that never reaches production has no value.
- Iterate
- Build → measure → improve → repeat.
