Overview

Engineering Philosophy

I specialize in bridging the gap between scalable distributed backends and butter-smooth client user interfaces.

Hi, my name is Mahdi Nosrati Sahlan. Learning, mastering, and applying cutting-edge technologies is what I do for a living. I thrive on architecting solid Android/Kotlin systems, performant Java backends, and modular server-driven UI engines.

Currently, I work as a Software Engineer at Google on the Google Play team. Prior to Google, I contributed to high-throughput home advertising and server-driven frameworks at Yelp, built food-industry data APIs & Flutter applications at Parsly Labs in Stockholm, and engineered instant messaging protocols at Hamsaa.
