Welcome to my homepage

I created this website for a couple of different reasons:

  • One primary usage of this website is writing my notes, so I'm proudly using DokuWiki software because it helps me to focus on publishing and updating the content with the most negligible overhead. So, here you may find many articles about different subjects, from philosophical topics to configuring and installing a mail server. Some of them are available in English, and some of them are written in Farsi. I don't guarantee that my content is quality enough to get used in real projects. Even I don't keep them updated unless I need them once again.
  • Here, you may find a long list of my past responsibilities and experiences that may or may not be relevant to attract you as a recruiter to hire me in your company or laboratory. In addition, It complements my resume by providing a portfolio and additional documents and details regarding the items mentioned there.
  • I have been teaching as an extracurricular instructor at different universities and companies, so I have a special section on my website for sharing materials and homework with my students. You can take some time to view the courseware on my website. This section is available mainly in English, but some parts are in Farsi.

Research Interests

I work in the area of Software Engineering. I aim to improve industrial software production practices in the following different areas.

Software Architecture

Architectural Decision Making, Software Quality, Reusability and Product Lines, Patterns

I am passionate about maintainability in code and application architecture because, as a software developer, I see how the complexity of software gets out of control if we do not invest enough in its quality and use best practices and engineering methods from the beginning.

Human Aspects of Software Engineering

Processes and Methodology Engineering, Cognitive Biases, Team Productivity and Leadership

 Volunteer Experience

Free Knowledge Foundation
Sep. 2010 – Present
Libre/Free Knowledge Foundation

Founding Member

I have been an active volunteer member of the Free Knowledge Foundation for more than seven years. In this position, I organized the Software Freedom Day (SFD) conference, held in Tehran in 2013, 2015, and 2016. Besides Tehran SFD, I have coordinated weekly meetings about philosophical aspects of Free Knowledge since July 2013. Also, I have been responsible for running and maintaining the wiki, editing and writing papers on the wiki, translating the various selected articles, and composing subtitles for chosen speech videos from the prominent people of the free software movement.
I had speeches more than twenty times about technical, social, and philosophical aspects of free software and free knowledge at events such as SFD, PyCon, and TehLUG weekly meetings at the Sharif University of Technology, University of Isfahan, Iran University of Science and Technology, Avatech Startup Accelerator (University of Tehran), Information Technology Organization and Arasbaran Cultural Center.
