01 / ABOUT

Two disciplines, one practice

SCAN IN PROGRESS

I started in architecture and urban planning at Kabul Polytechnic University. In my final year, the fall of Kabul ended that degree, and, for a while, everything else. I rebuilt in Tehran, earning a place at Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic) to study computer engineering.

The two educations turned out to be one discipline: cities and software are both systems people live in. Today I build full-stack web products with React, Next.js, Python and Django, and bring an urbanist's eye for structure, flows and people to everything I ship.

Available for freelance work and open to research collaborations at the city–software intersection or specific ones.
