Moe Babazadeh

Full-stack and embedded engineer · CTO at Neuroject

I architect AI-driven platforms and scalable digital products.

CTO at Neuroject, building the alignment layer for construction enterprises. Building since 2007: robots, IoT and firmware, then web, mobile and AI platforms.

About

I started building websites as a freelancer in 2007, studied electrical engineering with a focus on control systems, and spent my university years building robots, including a 1st place at RoboCup IranOpen 2010.

Since then I’ve built for an electronics and IoT company, a grocery marketplace, an edtech company and a construction-tech company. Today I’m CTO at Neuroject, leading the platform that connects BIM, schedules, budgets and risks for construction enterprises, and bringing AI into it.

Along the way I’ve shipped apps to the App Store and Google Play, hardware that’s still logging data after 15 years, and fixes to open source projects like Gatsby and DefinitelyTyped.

Projects

NeuroBuild

The alignment layer for construction enterprises: one multi-tenant platform for BIM models, WBS, quantity take-off, bills of quantities, tenders, and 4D progress reports, now with AI for natural-language questions and early risk warnings. I lead it as CTO.

SmartClaim

AI-assisted R&D tax credit claims for the UK, Ireland, Australia, and South Africa. I work across the FastAPI and pgvector API, the SvelteKit app, and the TypeScript client SDK, and added its security gates: secret scanning, Semgrep, and Trivy on every pull request.

Attendum

Attendance monitoring live at universities in the UK and US. I wrote the firmware for the ESP32 card readers (NFC, RFID, BLE, over-the-air updates) and the nRF52840 Bluetooth beacons, and built the iOS and Android app, the staff dashboard, and a Canvas LTI app. At a single university, it has more than 200 devices online, covers over 100 classrooms and 10,000 classes, and has received over 3 million records in the past two years.

Logger

GSM weather stations that take several sensors each and send their logs home. The fleet has been online for over 15 years: more than 50 active stations and over half a billion records.

Active-Class

An LMS with live exam proctoring and Azure Face identity checks. I built the user dashboard, an Office add-in that brings live polls and word clouds into PowerPoint and Word, and the product website.

Hardware

Five devices in production, from the board up: hardware, firmware and the systems they report to.

Logger

Several sensors per station, with logs sent home over GSM.

EPC

Embedded hardware and firmware that hold pressure and flow at their setpoints.

Mini PLC

Built on STM microcontrollers, for automation on a small footprint.

Attendum reader

NFC, RFID, BLE and over-the-air updates. Wireless, with a battery that lasts about 16 months.

Attendum beacon

Bluetooth proximity check-in, updated over the air with DFU.

Open source

Pull requests upstream, to packages with more than 300k weekly downloads between them.

gatsbyjs/gatsby

Removed the deprecated uuid@3.4.0 from gatsby-cli and gatsby-plugin-sharp. That version can fall back to Math.random(), which is unsafe for IDs. npm flagged it on every install.

github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/pull/35657

nanostores/persistent

Synced storage events only for the store’s own key. Opening the app in a second tab wiped saved data.

github.com/nanostores/persistent/pull/20

HuolalaTech/react-query-kit

Opt-in strictVariables: typed query variables become required at the call site. A forgotten argument compiled fine and only failed at runtime.

github.com/HuolalaTech/react-query-kit/pull/78

DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped

Typed the optional RegExp filters on the Forge Viewer’s getPropertyHashes. Calls that Autodesk documents failed to type-check.

microapps/gatsby-plugin-react-i18next

Added forwardRef support to the localized Link. Refs passed to localized links were silently dropped.
