About Me

I grew up in a small town in Khuzestan, Iran, where curiosity was often the best way to pass the time. When I got my first computer in high school, I had no idea it would shape so much of my life. I started small—typing lines of QBasic, building simple HTML pages, and experimenting late into the night just to see what I could make work. Those experiments slowly turned into projects, and eventually into websites that people actually used. One of them, called “Persian Subtitle,” became a platform visited by millions and remained one of the top sites in Iran for years. Looking back, I realize it wasn’t just about building—it was about discovering how ideas could grow and connect with people in ways I never expected.

As the web grew, I grew with it. I learned to move from tables and basic layouts to modern tools and frameworks, not by rushing but by staying curious and adaptable. That adaptability became a pattern: every shift in technology was an opportunity to learn, to rethink, and to refine how I worked. Over time, I discovered that design and development were only part of the picture. I found myself drawn to the invisible side of the web—how to keep things safe, secure, and resilient. That curiosity led me into security research, and later into a steady role in network security within the oil industry, where I’ve spent years balancing practical responsibilities with the same sense of exploration that first pulled me in.

Outside of my professional path, photography became a companion and an anchor. What started as a way to make long days feel lighter grew into something deeper through years of solo, backpack journeys across towns and villages. Traveling this way taught me to move slowly, to notice details others might pass by, and to capture them before they faded. Along the road I shared my work in exhibitions, even selling pieces that carried those moments to others. Photography, for me, has never been just about images—it’s about paying attention, and that perspective quietly shapes the way I approach design, development, and security too.

When I step back, all of these pieces—design, development, security, and photography—don’t feel separate. They all come from the same place: noticing what matters, caring about details, and building things that last. My journey has been about more than keeping up with technology; it’s been about shaping it into something clearer, safer, and more human. That’s the thread I try to carry through everything I do, whether I’m at a desk, behind a camera, or learning what comes next.
