Network information
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.

Platforms
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Depot
Five units on the fleet list, from weather stations that have logged for over 15 years to the card readers checking students into lectures.
Several sensors per station, with logs sent home over GSM.
Embedded hardware and firmware that hold pressure and flow at their setpoints.
Built on STM microcontrollers, for automation on a small footprint.
NFC, RFID, BLE and over-the-air updates. Wireless, with a battery that lasts about 16 months.
Bluetooth proximity check-in, updated over the air with DFU.
Service status
Disruptions found in other people’s networks, fixed at the source, in packages downloaded more than 300k times a week.
