Portrait of Ali Tanharo
Product + Engineering

Hello! I'm Ali, a seasoned Software Engineer based in Sweden.Delivering measurable impact with every release.

I believe that exceptional software goes beyond elegant code; it's about delivering tangible, measurable impact.

With over a decade of experience in full-stack development, I excel at engineering innovative solutions that consistently drive business growth and elevate the user experience.

About

Senior Full‑Stack Engineer & Product Builder

I design high‑impact platforms that blend AI, scalable architecture, and experience‑led product thinking. From multi‑tenant CMS systems to agentic AI, I build modern systems that feel premium and perform at scale.

About Me

As a Senior Full Stack Developer with over a decade of experience, I architect and deliver scalable enterprise products, cloud platforms, and AI-driven systems. My expertise spans JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, React, and Azure, with a strong emphasis on future-proof architecture, AI systems, and quantifiable business impact.

I've spearheaded initiatives that delivered 300% e-commerce growth, 40% faster platform performance, and scaled production AI systems and microservices to achieve 99.9% uptime and 20,000+ new enterprise software licenses.

Passionate about clear system design and architecture, I thrive on translating complex business needs into robust solutions and mentoring teams to ship reliable software with real-world impact.

I have led cross-functional delivery as a Technical Product Owner, guiding agile workflows, defining roadmaps, and aligning stakeholders to accelerate feature delivery. My work spans e-commerce, CMS, media processing, and AI-driven experiences that prioritize reliability, scalability, and customer value.

Beyond delivery, I actively mentor engineers and hackathon teams, and I enjoy shaping system architecture that balances long-term maintainability with rapid product iteration.

I’ve also been recognized for AI innovation in Sweden’s hackathon community, including winning the Google Cloud AI Hackathon 2025 and presenting AI system designs to enterprise leaders across the Nordics. These experiences sharpened my ability to combine technical depth with clear storytelling and stakeholder alignment.
