At BrainWave Software Inc., in collaboration with Adrian Somers and Olav Krigolson, I played a pivotal role in developing a cutting-edge software solution. Our product enabled the seamless capture, monitoring, and utilization of multiple EEG devices. My specific contribution involved crafting a robust driver in the C# programming language. This driver facilitated real-time data retrieval from FTDI hardware over Bluetooth, performing essential data compilation and raw data filtering before seamlessly passing it to other components of the software. This experience honed my skills in software development and real-time data processing.

At Prism Technology in 2021, I collaborated with Ari Goldschmit on a groundbreaking tech platform that's reshaping the biofeedback industry. Our platform features interactive games designed to empower users in breaking challenging habits by gaining control over their sympathetic nervous system.In my role, I was responsible for implementing a Python-based device driver. This driver allowed seamless communication with biosensor devices over Bluetooth, enabling the real-time data collection and smooth integration with other critical components of our software system. This experience further solidified my expertise in device integration and real-time data processing

Facilitating the development of Python applications for MUSE headbands has never been easier. Through collaboration with Prof. Olav Krigolson (University of Victoria) and Prof. Gordon Binsted (University of British Columbia), we've created EasyMuse—a Python library that simplifies communication and EEG signal reading from MUSE headbands. In this project, my role primarily focused on designing the firmware and hardware interfaces.

I led the design and development of 'uvicmuse,' a Python project facilitating access to EEG and sensory data from MUSE headbands. I created cross-platform applications for Windows, Linux, and macOS that establish Bluetooth connections with MUSE headsets and transmit sensor data via the UDP protocol. This project, funded by Professor Olav Krigolson, head of The Theoretical and Applied Neuroscience Laboratory at UVic, is open-source and accessible on GitHub.

I earned my degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Victoria. During my time at UVic, I served as a Research Assistant (RA) in the Computer Engineering lab under the supervision of Prof. Amirali Baniasadi. My thesis focused on enhancing a Phase Unwrapping algorithm utilized in the analysis and data extraction from satellite images, particularly in the field of InSAR. In late 2019, I successfully published my research titled 'Dual Stage Phase Unwrapping.' Additionally, I collaborated with Khaled Helal on the Super-Resolution project, which also led to a publication.

Teaching has consistently been one of my most rewarding experiences. I firmly believe that teaching reinforces my own understanding of a subject, as it encourages me to identify any gaps in my knowledge. During my time at UVic, I had the privilege of serving as a Teaching Assistant (TA) in multiple capacities, including:- Real-Time Computer Systems Design [Lab TA]- Computer Architecture [Lab TA, Tutorial TA, Marker]- System-on-Chip (SoC) Engineering for Signal Processing [Marker]These roles allowed me to not only share my knowledge but also deepen my own comprehension of these subjects.

During my MITACS-funded internship, I focused on optimizing the time-consuming Phase-Unwrapping algorithm within 3vG's image analysis pipeline. Starting with the existing Primal-Dual algorithm, I implemented several refinements that resulted in a remarkable 60% reduction in processing time, all while maintaining consistent results. These achievements are detailed in the "Dual-Stage Phase-Unwrapping" paper presented at NorCAS2019.

Teaching has always been my greatest passion. In 2015, I embarked on a journey of instructing 10th and 11th-grade students in robotics. During my initial year, our focus was on preparing the students for the 'CoSpace' robotic contest, part of the 'IranOpen' event organized by the international RoboCup community.However, I soon realized that competing solely for a modest reward did not fully harness the potential of my students' time and abilities. With this in mind, I proposed a shift in our approach to the school authorities. They embraced the idea of revising our curriculum to enable students to construct microcontroller-based systems from the ground up. This not only enriched their skillset but also empowered them to prototype their own innovative ideas in the future.

During my internship, I actively contributed to the creation of an innovative dimmable smart lighting solution. The task at hand involved crafting a mixed-signal circuit capable of receiving commands via Bluetooth from mobile devices to adjust the lighting settings. My role encompassed software code development and the design of the printed circuit board (PCB) for the ARM-based NRF Bluetooth System-on-Chip (SoC).

While under contract with Monenco during a summer position, I was actively involved in conceiving and building an E-Learning system aimed at onboarding new employees and acquainting them with the company's operations. This comprehensive E-Learning platform encompassed assessments, interactive visualizations of various company facets, and an engaging virtual environment. I collaborated within a compact team of three.My key responsibilities in this project included:Scripting in ActionScript and leveraging Adobe Flash.Capturing essential scenes through photography for program integration.

For my inaugural role, I embarked on a remote position with Arad, a robotics company. In my capacity as a sales representative, I specialized in promoting their line of robotic kits tailored for educational institutions and individuals. These kits were thoughtfully crafted to introduce students to the realms of electronic design and programming.
