GiveExamples.com is the personal technical blog of Saeed Afshari.
Hi, I’m Saeed Afshari, a Staff Software Engineer at Flix GmbH.
I am passionate about building reliable, scalable, and secure software systems. My main interests lie in system architecture, cloud technologies, identity and security, and creating solutions that are not only technically sound but also practical and maintainable in production. This blog is my space to share real-world experiences, technical insights, and lessons learned along the way.
Professional Background
I currently work as a Staff Software Engineer at Flix GmbH, where I contribute to designing and scaling transportation technology solutions used by millions of users. My work focuses on building robust distributed systems, improving platform reliability, and helping teams make better architectural decisions.
Through this blog, I aim to document and explain complex topics such as:
- Cloud identity and access management
- Authentication and authorization
- Infrastructure as Code
- Secure application architecture
- Practical engineering patterns
All with a strong focus on real examples and production-ready designs.
Beyond Software
Outside of engineering, I am a passionate and professional Judoka. I currently hold a blue belt and continue to train seriously, always aiming to improve my technique, discipline, and understanding of the sport. I am especially a fan of randori, where learning through real, dynamic practice happens.
One of my personal goals is to one day compete at a high level and work towards becoming a European champion. Judo, much like software engineering, teaches patience, resilience, continuous learning, and respect for the process.
