A library before a laptop
I grew up surrounded by novels. Reading taught me to inhabit other minds, look for patterns, and stay with a difficult question longer than was comfortable. That library was my first education in curiosity.
The long version
My story is not
a straight line.
It is a collection of disciplines, countries, questions, setbacks, practices, and choices that taught me how to build with both rigor and care.
The thread beneath everything
“I am most myself when I am learning something difficult, making it useful, and sharing it with someone else.”
People often ask which part is the real me: the engineer, the teacher, the builder, the researcher, or the woman arranging flowers after a yoga class. The answer is that none of those identities is complete alone. My strength comes from their conversation.
Learning to earn my place
Admission to Sharif University of Technology placed me among the top 0.1% of more than 500,000 national exam candidates. It sharpened my discipline and gave me an enduring respect for rigorous work.
Research met visual imagination
At Texas A&M, computer science, graphics, animation, statistics, and visualization came together. My graduate work explored real-time interactive artworks and a 2.5D rendering pipeline—technical systems in service of expression.
From elegant code to reliable systems
I moved into production software: Go, TypeScript, React, Google Cloud, APIs, concurrency, platform thinking, and the unglamorous work of making systems dependable. I learned that the best engineering is deeply human—it reduces friction and creates trust.
Teacher, builder, and whole person
I am building LodeOra, teaching AI engineering through a narrative course, publishing open-source tools, and making room for the rest of myself: movement, flowers, books, philosophy, cooking, beauty, and joy.
What I bring
Softness is not the opposite
of technical strength.
Persistent
I stay with hard problems and keep rebuilding after failure.
Systems-minded
I look for relationships, constraints, failure modes, and the whole journey.
Generous
I teach because understanding becomes more valuable when it is shared clearly.
Multidisciplinary
Engineering, art, movement, psychology, and business all sharpen one another.
Exacting
I care about details because details shape trust.
Alive to life
Ambition matters, but so do beauty, play, food, books, and the people we love.
