About

Moe Babazadeh
Moe BabazadehCTO, Neuroject

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

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.

WP03 Flight log

Experience

6 roles from 2007 to now. In the sky, one drone per year marks the axis and each role flies as a bar from its first month to its last.

WP07 Upstream

Open source

Fixes he sent upstream, to packages downloaded more than 300k times a week. In the sky it's a unit chart: one drone for every 2.5k weekly downloads.

  1. Security

    gatsbyjs/gatsby ↗

    2022 · ★ 56k

    163k downloads a week · 65 drones

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

    nanostores/persistent ↗

    2022 · ★ 383

    82k downloads a week · 33 drones

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

    HuolalaTech/react-query-kit ↗

    2026 · ★ 486

    31k downloads a week · 12 drones

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

    DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped ↗

    2025 · ★ 51k

    22k downloads a week · 9 drones

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

    microapps/gatsby-plugin-react-i18next ↗

    2021 · ★ 119

    5.4k downloads a week · 2 drones

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