AI Engineer & Solution Architect

GoPlus - Ontario, CA

2023 - Present

GoPlus is a forward-thinking EdTech startup revolutionizing higher education through adaptive assessments, custom content authoring, and data-driven insights. Initially joining as an AI Engineer, my role evolved into solution architecture and AI consulting, where I design and implement advanced AI-driven solutions, contributing to GoPlus’s position as a leader in educational technology.

• Key Achievements:
Architected and Developed a flexible AI service with integration options (FastAPI, gRPC, WebSocket) and implemented following AI-powered features to enhance the platform's adaptive learning capabilities:
- Question generation (DB compatible)
- Content generation (RAG)
- Student performance analytics (Using ML Algorithms)
- Personalized assignment (Auto DB Query using LLM)

Digital Transformation Consult

Freelance - Dubai, UAE

2022 - 2023

As a Freelance Digital Transformation Consultant operating under Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), I led two innovative blockchain and AI projects for individual clients. In both projects, my role encompassed end-to-end prototype development, enabling clients to further develop and scale their initiatives:

Blockchain-Based Sports Betting Platform:
Designed and developed a blockchain solution for a peer-to-peer sports betting platform. Utilizing Hardhat for testing, I developed smart contracts and a platform-native token on the Ethereum Testnet. I integrated Chainlink oracles to manage on-chain sports events, ensuring real-time data and secure, transparent transactions. Delivered a functional prototype that the client used to advance the project with their team.

Blockchain and AI-Driven Competition Platform:
Created a platform where participants purchased tickets to enter an AI-driven image generation contest. Players had limited attempts to produce images similar to a target using diffusion models from Stability AI. The closest match would win the prize pool. I was responsible for the platform architecture and blockchain development using Solidity and Ganache. Additionally, I implemented image comparison algorithms using OpenCV for similarity scoring. Delivered a prototype that validated the concept and demonstrated technical feasibility.

Design Manager

Sina Robotics - Tehran, IR

2021 - 2022

Sina Robotics, founded in 2015, specializes in developing advanced medical equipment, including surgical robots and training simulators. After joining as an Industrial Designer, I was promoted to Design Manager, leading a team to enhance system usability by improving robotic arm motion, designing surgical tools and detection systems, and optimizing ergonomic features in surgeon consoles.


• Key Achievements:
Under my management, the design team solved significant issues reported by the R&D while getting the ISO-13485, IEC-80601, and other ISO/TC 299 and 150 standards, which are crucial certificates for manufacturing medical devices, and robotic systems.

Within a year, we delivered flawless designs and prototypes on a tight schedule to the R&D team so we could close our first international deal successfully and become one of the first countries with robotic telesurgery systems.

I supervised the manufacturing processes of the exterior parts and robotic surgical instruments, leading to an overall 10% cost saving for the whole production and a 30% decrease in fabricating expenses by choosing optimal manufacturing methods.

Animatronics Specialist

Aped Studio - All around the world

2018 - 2021

At Aped Studio, we merge classical art values like harmony and balance with contemporary mediums such as Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and installations to craft non-anecdotal, emotionally neutral works that prioritize story and aesthetics over trends. As a team member, I managed technical aspects, bringing interactive sculptures to life with robotics, inspiring innovative technological solutions, and planning production for international installations.

• Key Achievements:
We successfully applied one of our installations in two international Digital and New Media Festivals, both in our home country Iran (TADAEX Festival, 2018) and another in Poland (Survival 17, 2019).

We also collaborated with some Escape Rooms to design their installations and games with automated missions and puzzles using Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and Kinect.
