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.

Experience
Neuroject · Chief Full Stack Engineer → CTO
June 2024 – Present
Built NeuroBuild, then CTO of the alignment layer for construction enterprises.
- 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.

Projects
NeuroBuild
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.
Next.js · Laravel · AWS · Autodesk APS
SmartClaim
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.
FastAPI · OpenAI · pgvector · SvelteKit · TypeScript
Attendum
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.

Logger
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.

Open source
Packages with more than 300k weekly downloads between them.
- gatsbyjs/gatsby (Security, 2022, ★ 56k, 163k weekly). 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. Pull request
- nanostores/persistent (Data loss, 2022, ★ 383, 82k weekly). Synced storage events only for the store’s own key. Opening the app in a second tab wiped saved data. Pull request
- HuolalaTech/react-query-kit (Type safety, 2026, ★ 486, 31k weekly). Opt-in strictVariables: typed query variables become required at the call site. A forgotten argument compiled fine and only failed at runtime. Pull request
- DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped (Type safety, 2025, ★ 51k, 22k weekly). Typed the optional RegExp filters on the Forge Viewer’s getPropertyHashes. Calls that Autodesk documents failed to type-check. Pull request
- microapps/gatsby-plugin-react-i18next (Bug, 2021, ★ 119, 5.4k weekly). Added forwardRef support to the localized Link. Refs passed to localized links were silently dropped. Pull request
