Soheil Nikroo
Senior Frontend Engineer · Snapp
I grew up in Tehran. In high school — Python 2, a turtle on the screen — I was behind my classmates but I didn't quit. Private institute, C#, then the web: React, Quera, long nights. Internship at ILIA Corporation, frontend at Jaan, and since 2022 Frontend Engineer at Snapp building PWAs at scale. Computer Science at Islamic Azad University (expected 2025). These days I'm also learning Swift & SwiftUI and dipping into Rust. This site tells that story like a game — because that's how learning has always felt to me.
