Ehsan Gazar will make you the architect in the room

I'm a Staff Software Engineer with 16 years building and scaling production systems across fintech, SaaS, and enterprise software. I've made hundreds of architectural decisions in systems that had to survive real traffic, incidents, and org politics.

I've run 500+ mentorship sessions with senior engineers at a 5.0 rating, helping them close the gap between writing code and thinking at the architectural level. I've also taught 10,000+ students and distilled what separates engineers who get promoted from those who stay stuck.

I'm not an academic. Every framework here comes from real decisions or mistakes I had to recover from. I’ll teach you to think like a Staff Software Engineer: not “what’s the right answer,” but “what are the trade-offs, and what survives contact with reality.”

From Senior to Staff: Master the Architecture Skills That Get You Promoted

The combination of live sessions, practical exercises, and real-world examples made the material directly applicable to design reviews, interviews, and day-to-day engineering work. I especially appreciated how the course connected technical architecture skills with the communication and decision-making expected at Staff level. I would highly recommend this course to senior engineers who want to strengthen their system design skills, lead architecture discussions more effectively, and prepare for the next stage of their careers.

I really enjoyed this class. Ehsan is incredibly friendly and open to discussion, creating a great environment where everyone feels welcome to participate. His deep expertise in complex systems and software engineering principles made this course incredibly useful. I have nothing but great things to say—if you want to master complex system design, this is the course to take!

From Senior to Staff: Master the Architecture Skills That Get You Promoted

The Ehsan's workshop was excellent preparation for system design interviews. It goes beyond typical Senior-level content by focusing on the strategic thinking, trade-offs, and clear communication expected at the Staff level. The practical frameworks and real-world examples helped me structure ambiguous problems more effectively and justify my design decisions with confidence. Highly recommended for any Senior engineer looking to level up.
