The product
TypeScript, Next.js, Python, PHP, .NET and WordPress. Whatever the work actually calls for.

A real person behind the projects
I started with a robot.
Robotics taught me to keep testing until things worked. That instinct still shapes how I build products, run systems and help people learn.
Robotics × systems × people

01 / THE BEGINNING
A curious kid. A stubborn robot.
Robotics taught me something early: the machine doesn’t care how good your explanation sounds. It either works or it doesn’t.
I spent time wiring sensors, motors and controllers, then debugging until the robot finally behaved. Competitions made me calm under pressure. That habit followed me into websites, servers and production systems.
BUILT, TESTED, REBUILT
Learning happened with my hands.
Courses and competitions turned curiosity into patient problem-solving.

THE SHORT VERSION
Making it look finished is easy. Making it work on a bad Tuesday is the interesting part.
WHAT I’VE LEARNED
02 / THE WORK
Interface to server room.
Real web work pulled me into operations. A product has to load, recover, stay secure and make sense to the people using it.
The machinery
Linux, Docker, Nginx, databases, deployments, logs and the details that matter after launch.
The edges
Permissions, networking, firewalling, backups and practical security basics.
The people
Technical direction, useful decisions and helping teammates get unstuck.
I also handled audiovisual production: networking video panels, setting up control systems and running sound equipment.
Certificates
The foundations behind the work
Early web training and a formal DevOps course became starting points for years of practice.
Still learning: deeper CI/CD and observability. I’d rather be honest about the gap and close it.
WHERE I’VE BEEN
Work, in real places.
Technical Lead
Rouhi Group
Building and running RouhSaz, an organizational ordering and operations platform.
CTO
IranCook
Software, servers, network and the technical work that kept a real business moving.
Web Platform Engineer

SELECTED WORK
Things that left my laptop.
Products, tools and experiments. Some for work, some because I wanted them to exist.

03 / THE PEOPLE
Teaching brings me back.
The moment a student realizes they can make something themselves? That’s hard to beat.
I have taught computer hardware at Allameh Helli 6, in other schools and through private classes. Helping students learn and feel capable of building something has always mattered to me, and it still does.

SHOWING UP FOR STUDENTS
Support the people who support students.
I have also worked with organizations focused on student learning and opportunity, helping wherever my time and skills could make their work easier.
SHARIATI UNIVERSITY
Lessons worth passing along.
At a Shariati University panel, I shared lessons from building products and working in technology—especially the things I wish I had known as a student.

IDEAS FOR STUDENTS
A place to try things and earn
Our idea was to give students a place to show and sell what they make, earn their first income, and explore what they enjoy and what they’re good at. I built it with my friend Mohammad Parsa Hosseini, and the idea won first place at the Ibn Sina Student Startup Marathon.

GEN Z / CIVIC PARTICIPATION
Why is Gen Z less active in civic campaigns?
I brought this question into public conversations: what keeps young people from joining civic campaigns, and what would make taking part feel worthwhile?

NASR / IT DAY
Give students the tools to move forward.
At NASR’s IT Day, I asked the industry to give students access to equipment, practical opportunities and support so they can keep learning and build real skills.

TeenoStars / ELECOMP
Help students find room to grow.
TeenoStars gives students a place to learn, try things and move forward. Across three ELECOMP editions, I worked alongside the team and helped wherever I could, while supporting the students taking part.
OFF THE MAIN PATH
More than a stack.
Move, test, improve
I like ownership and quick progress, with enough care that nobody inherits a mess. Good people and room for deep focus both matter.
Here and elsewhere
Persian is my first language. I work in English too, and I’m still improving it for more international collaboration.
04 / RIGHT NOW
Keep building. Keep learning.
I’m studying Computer Science at Mehr Alborz University, leading technical work on RouhSaz and growing toward deeper reliability and DevOps work. I still want to build ideas of my own and work with people who care about the details.
