Moe Babazadeh
CTO at Neuroject. From sensor to AI: firmware, platforms and the teams that build them.
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.

A compact PLC controller built on STM microcontrollers: the board and firmware for automation on a small footprint. In production.
STM · Firmware · PLC - react-query-kit: strictVariables
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 QueryCode ↗ - Gatsby: insecure uuid removed
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.

| Time | Address | Data | Flags | Reach | Ack |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 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. | Security | ★ 56k 163k/wk | ACK ↗ |
| 2022 | nanostores/persistent | Synced storage events only for the store’s own key. Opening the app in a second tab wiped saved data. | Data loss | ★ 383 82k/wk | ACK ↗ |
| 2026 | 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. | Type safety | ★ 486 31k/wk | ACK ↗ |
| 2025 | DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped | Typed the optional RegExp filters on the Forge Viewer’s getPropertyHashes. Calls that Autodesk documents failed to type-check. | Type safety | ★ 51k 22k/wk | ACK ↗ |
| 2021 | microapps/gatsby-plugin-react-i18next | Added forwardRef support to the localized Link. Refs passed to localized links were silently dropped. | Bug | ★ 119 5.4k/wk | ACK ↗ |
AI
At Neuroject I’m bringing AI into the platform construction enterprises plan with: natural-language access to project data, and early warning on schedule and cost risk, so problems surface weeks before they hit the site.
Before that, at SmartClaim, I worked on AI-assisted R&D tax claims built on FastAPI, OpenAI and pgvector.
The chart is illustrative, not client data.
