Iranian Filmmaker Ali Moradi Dev Blends Film and Tech with New Open-Source E-Commerce Platform

A full-stack developer and producer is launching a vanilla PHP project, applying cinematic structural concepts to software architecture.

Tehran, Iran Oct 12, 2025 – Ali Moradi Dev is carving out a unique position where film and software engineering converge, in a time where specialization is often emphasized. The Iranian film producer and full-stack developer is using his filmmaking background to design and release a complete open-source e-commerce platform, showcasing his strong understanding of fundamental coding principles.

Moradi’s career began in his teens within Iran’s vibrant film industry. His IMDb profile (nm17111758) lists his work on acclaimed films like “The Lost Strait” (Assistant Producer) and “Paper House” (Co-Producer). These roles taught him valuable lessons in project management, teamwork, and turning creative ideas into reality. Simultaneously, he developed a passion for software development, which he sees as similar to filmmaking.

The new “PHP E-commerce Platform,” available on GitHub, is built from scratch, avoiding frameworks like Laravel. This was a deliberate choice to demonstrate mastery of core software architecture. The project includes secure user authentication, dynamic product management, and a responsive front-end using vanilla JavaScript, all skills refined through a structured, architectural approach.

“My main goal for this project was to master the basics. I see cinema and coding as related,” said Ali Moradi Dev. “Both start with nothing, and you build a final product by putting together small parts, aiming to connect with people. The ‘pre-production’ stage of planning the entire system, which I learned from cinema, was key to the project’s success.”

Born on January 26, 2005, in Bijar, Kurdistan province, Ali Moradi Dev is part of a new generation of Iranian professionals using diverse skills to have a global impact. His consistent online presence as “Ali Moradi Dev,” with a central website, helps establish his expertise in both fields for professionals and search engines.
