CTO at Neuroject · building since 2007
Comment
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.
power flow no flow · Click any contact on an %I address to change it. Long rungs scroll sideways.
Three-wire control. FirstScan latches Run when the CPU starts up. Stop is a normally-closed button read through a normally-open contact, so a broken wire stops the program too.
Hold Replay to set the CPU clock back to August 2007, when the first freelance job started. The role timers and the year counter reset on the same input.
Reads the clock into "Clock".Now. In this simulation it runs about 640 days a second until it reaches October 2026, then in real time.
Red when stopped, amber while the clock catches up with today, green once it has. The normally-closed contacts pass power while their bit is FALSE.
CTU counts rising edges, so every January counts once.
Websites and web apps for clients in PHP, JavaScript and jQuery.
One retentive timer per role. TONR keeps its elapsed time when the role ends, and it counts in LTIME because a 32-bit TIME stops at T#24D_20H_31M_23S_647MS.
IoT platforms, live GPS tracking and connected devices.
A React marketplace that took local grocers online.
Active-Class LMS and proctoring, Attendum firmware and apps on both stores.

Each platform switches on in the year it shipped, if every discipline in its stack is on. Switch an input off to see what depends on it.
Devices in production today, so they switch on once the clock reaches October 2026. Every one of them runs on firmware.
Each platform is an output of network 12. Its lamp follows the program: switch off a discipline it needs and the lamp goes out.
%Q0.0 "NeuroBuild"FALSE
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.
%Q0.1 "SmartClaim"FALSE
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.
%Q0.2 "Attendum"FALSE
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.
%Q0.5 "Logger"FALSE
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.
%Q0.3 "ActiveClass"FALSE
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.
A React Native app on both stores that helps students starting university get to know their course, campus, city, and career options.
Expo · React Native · TypeScript
Online tutoring for every child: diagnostic tests, courses, quizzes, and 1-to-1 lessons over live video. I built the dashboard and the website.
Next.js · MUI · VideoSDK · Uppy
An electronic pressure and flow controller: embedded hardware and firmware that hold pressure and flow at their setpoints. In production.
Hardware · Firmware · Process control
A compact PLC controller built on STM microcontrollers: the board and firmware for automation on a small footprint. In production.
STM · Firmware · PLC
An opt-in flag I added to react-query-kit (31k weekly downloads) so a forgotten query argument fails at compile time instead of at runtime.
TypeScript · React Query
Removed a deprecated uuid version from gatsby-cli and gatsby-plugin-sharp that could fall back to Math.random() and was flagged on every Gatsby install.
Node.js · Security
Device telemetry on plain shared PHP hosting: ingest, rollups, alarms with hysteresis, OTA firmware, and reports. No Composer, npm, or build step.
PHP 8 · Vanilla JS · OpenAPI
A native macOS app that finds duplicate and look-alike photos by how they look. Fully offline, and nothing is ever deleted.
Swift · SwiftUI · Vision
Reads matrix keypads as a FreeRTOS task, with built-in debouncing and configurable layouts and pin maps. Portable across microcontrollers.

Fixed persisted data being wiped when the app was opened in a second tab, in a store used 82k times a week.

The product website for Learning Kit, built for 0&1.

The product website for Exam Kit, an online exam monitoring system by 0&1.

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.
