Hello, World! 👋

Hi, I am Aideen NasiriShargh (officially Aidin NasiriShargh, in Persian: آیدین نصیری‌شرق). This site has been my online home since 2006.

My Journey

I started programming in 1997 on a Commodore 64. Before finishing high school, I won an international silver medal at IOI 2004.

I received my B.E. in Software Engineering in 2009 from Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, Iran. I also competed at the ACM ICPC World Finals in 2009 (Stockholm, Sweden) and 2010 (Harbin, China).

In 2012, I dropped out of my Master's program in Artificial Intelligence and moved to the US to work at Google in Mountain View, California. Later, I joined Zoosk (Developer → Manager → Director of Web Applications), Credit Karma (Staff Software Engineer), and Verkada (Principal Software Engineer).

Codelita

In 2019, I founded Codelita, my first start-up.

Our primary product is an online platform for "learning programming from scratch, in a fun way, on any device."
