NAME
moe — CTO, engineer, and builder of platforms and the hardware under them
SYNOPSIS
moe [--role=cto] [--company=neuroject] [--since=2007] [--stack=typescript,python,php,c]
DESCRIPTION
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.
EXPERIENCE
Neuroject (June 2024 – Present)
CTO
  • CTO since September 2026, after two years as Chief Full Stack Engineer. I lead the architecture, roadmap, and delivery of a cloud-native, multi-tenant platform that connects BIM, schedules, budgets, and risks into traceable decisions.
  • Bringing AI into the platform, from natural-language access to project data to early warning on schedule and cost risk.
  • Led the architecture and build of NeuroBuild on Next.js, React 19, and Laravel, hosted on AWS Amplify and Laravel Vapor, with 4,700+ commits across five codebases.
  • Set the engineering bar: a permission check on every API route, audit trails, and production alarms and GuardDuty alerts kept in infrastructure as code.
Neuroship (May 2026 – Present)
Chief Full Stack Engineer
  • Chief Full Stack Engineer on contract, alongside my role at Neuroject.
0&1 (February 2021 – June 2024)
Lead Frontend Developer
  • Led the frontend architecture of Active-Class, an integrated LMS and exam monitoring platform, including identity checks during live exams with the Microsoft Azure Face API.
  • Shipped Attendum end to end: firmware for the ESP32 card readers and nRF52840 BLE beacons, the iOS and Android app, the staff dashboard, and a Canvas LTI app.
  • Built Office.js add-ins for PowerPoint and Word, the School.how dashboard, the Education Guide app, and the Learning Kit and Exam Kit websites.
  • Redesigned the CI/CD pipelines to cut build and deployment overhead.
Alget.nl (August 2020 – February 2021)
Senior Frontend Developer
  • Built the React frontend of a digital marketplace that helps local supermarkets and grocery businesses sell online.
  • Implemented state management and client-side data handling that cut unnecessary API requests.
  • Shipped MVP features quickly with the product and backend teams, and improved deployment workflows with CI/CD.
Niknam (October 2012 – August 2020)
Senior Software Engineer
  • At Niknam Electronic Rayan, built IoT platforms and connected systems for monitoring, tracking, and data visualisation across multiple industries.
  • Designed web applications and real-time dashboards, and integrated hardware devices with GPS and mapping services for live tracking.
  • Modernised legacy platforms for performance, usability, and maintainability. Software Engineer from 2012, Senior Software Engineer from 2017.
Freelance (August 2007 – October 2012)
Web Developer
  • Built websites and web applications for clients with PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML, and CSS.
PROJECTS
NeuroBuild [Next.js, Laravel, AWS, Autodesk APS]
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.
neuroject.com
SmartClaim [FastAPI, OpenAI, pgvector, SvelteKit, TypeScript]
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.
smartclaim.uk
Attendum [ESP32, nRF52840, React Native, Next.js]
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.
attendum.comApp StoreGoogle Play
Logger [Hardware, Firmware, GSM, Sensors, Telemetry]
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.
Active-Class [React, Redux, Firebase, Office.js]
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.
active-class.com
Education Guide [Expo, React Native, TypeScript]
A React Native app on both stores that helps students starting university get to know their course, campus, city, and career options.
education.guideApp StoreGoogle Play
School.how [Next.js, MUI, VideoSDK, Uppy]
Online tutoring for every child: diagnostic tests, courses, quizzes, and 1-to-1 lessons over live video. I built the dashboard and the website.
school.how
EPC [Hardware, Firmware, Process control]
An electronic pressure and flow controller: embedded hardware and firmware that hold pressure and flow at their setpoints. In production.
Mini PLC [STM, Firmware, PLC]
A compact PLC controller built on STM microcontrollers: the board and firmware for automation on a small footprint. In production.
react-query-kit: strictVariables [TypeScript, React Query]
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.
Code
Gatsby: insecure uuid removed [Node.js, Security]
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.
Code
Pulse IoT [PHP 8, Vanilla JS, OpenAPI]
Device telemetry on plain shared PHP hosting: ingest, rollups, alarms with hysteresis, OTA firmware, and reports. No Composer, npm, or build step.
Photo Dedup [Swift, SwiftUI, Vision]
A native macOS app that finds duplicate and look-alike photos by how they look. Fully offline, and nothing is ever deleted.
matrix-keypad-freertos [C, FreeRTOS]
Reads matrix keypads as a FreeRTOS task, with built-in debouncing and configurable layouts and pin maps. Portable across microcontrollers.
Code
nanostores/persistent: tab sync fix [TypeScript]
Fixed persisted data being wiped when the app was opened in a second tab, in a store used 82k times a week.
Code
Learning Kit [Next.js, AWS Amplify]
The product website for Learning Kit, built for 0&1.
learningkit.com
Exam Kit [Nuxt, Tailwind CSS]
The product website for Exam Kit, an online exam monitoring system by 0&1.
examkit.com

OPEN SOURCE
gatsbyjs/gatsby (2022, ★56k, 163k/week)
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.
nanostores/persistent (2022, ★383, 82k/week)
Synced storage events only for the store’s own key. Opening the app in a second tab wiped saved data.
HuolalaTech/react-query-kit (2026, ★486, 31k/week)
Opt-in strictVariables: typed query variables become required at the call site. A forgotten argument compiled fine and only failed at runtime.
DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped (2025, ★51k, 22k/week)
Typed the optional RegExp filters on the Forge Viewer’s getPropertyHashes. Calls that Autodesk documents failed to type-check.
microapps/gatsby-plugin-react-i18next (2021, ★119, 5.4k/week)
Added forwardRef support to the localized Link. Refs passed to localized links were silently dropped.
