Moe BabazadehCTO, Neuroject

CTO at Neuroject · also Chief Full Stack Engineer at Neuroship, on contract

I architect AI-driven platforms and scalable digital products.

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.
