A senior engineer, a quiet founder, and — occasionally — a salsero.
I'm Amir — a software engineer who thinks best at the intersection of systems and storytelling. Ten years into full-stack, currently running Sodelia, a small automation studio out of Toronto.
Most days I'm plumbing APIs, shepherding a side project through its awkward adolescence, or arguing with myself about whether the right abstraction is two functions or one. Some evenings, it's salsa — which, as it turns out, is also mostly about timing and listening.
Three practices, one curious practitioner.
Build
I design and ship full-stack web products — backend-first, React on top, obsessive about boring reliability.
Automate
Through Sodelia, I wire operations software together so teams stop copying things between tabs. Make/Zapier/n8n, custom scripts, webhooks.
Advise
Fractional eng work for founders shipping their first backend. I help with architecture, hiring, and the boring conversations about uptime.

What others say, unprompted.
I worked with Amir when I was leading People & Culture and he was one of Bettermode's early joiners on the Engineering team. Amir contributed to the overall culture and community of the organization, and displayed an openness and adaptability to change. He also played an important role providing peer mentorship to other new hires on the engineering team. Any engineering team would be lucky to bring Amir onboard.
I had the pleasure of working with Amir at Bettermode and I can't recommend him highly enough. He consistently brought a level of dedication, strategic thinking, and team spirit that made a real impact. Amir always approached challenges with a solutions-oriented mindset and a collaborative attitude — not only delivering excellent work, but helping raise the bar for those around him. Beyond the technical skills, Amir is simply a great person to work with.
I worked with Amir as an Enterprise Client Success Manager at Bettermode. He consistently delivered excellent technical solutions and was always willing to collaborate across teams to solve complex client needs. His expertise with scalable architecture and API integrations for platforms like Salesforce and Zapier made him invaluable when onboarding enterprise accounts. A rare combination of strong technical skills and genuine understanding of client success.
Amir was always a team player — willing to help and to patiently explain technical concepts outside my area of expertise. He built a lot of Bettermode's apps and integrations, which played a pivotal role in launching our new platform. If Amir is on a project, he will surely deliver.
Got a strange problem and a decent budget?
I take on 2–3 engagements per quarter. Automation, backend rebuilds, fractional eng. I usually reply within a day.
