The Journey So Far
One continuous thread: understanding systems — and figuring out how they fail.
Olympiad & programming
Started programming through Iran's National Olympiad in Informatics, where I won a bronze medal.
Software engineering
Studied Computer Engineering at Amirkabir University, focusing on software and the foundations of computer science.
Becoming a developer
Started working as a software developer, building multimedia and streaming systems and getting closer to real-world software.
Discovering AI
Along the way, I became interested in machine learning and how data could be used to find patterns and unusual behavior.
Information security
Moved from software toward security and completed my Master's in Computer Engineering, focused on Information Security.
Penetration testing
Moved into software security, penetration testing, vulnerability assessment and source-code security reviews.
Payment → banking → finance
Worked across payment systems, banking platforms and stock-market infrastructure, getting to know financial systems from the inside.
Blockchain & DeFi
Moved into security research around blockchain and decentralized finance, studying malicious smart contracts, attacks and victim identification.
AI × security
Brought AI back into the picture through research on proactive detection, on-chain risk signals, scams and malicious activity in DeFi.
