researcher / ai engineer / consultant
I build AI systems that find insights in messy data, as a researcher at the University of Duisburg-Essen, and as a consultant developing AI concepts for major facility management companies in Germany.
I'm a Persian-German computer scientist and currently a PhD candidate at the University of Duisburg-Essen, where I specialize in knowledge discovery, data mining in large datasets, and LLMs. I got into NLP in 2020, started tinkering with transformers, and had too much fun to ever stop. The ML systems I was building back then have since grown into full-scale solutions with frontier models. Since the start of my career, I have been building AI systems for research and industry, including retrieval pipelines, business analytics, AI agents, and training LLMs for real-world applications.
Today I consult for some of Germany's largest facility management companies, developing AI concepts and strategy, building end-to-end AI solutions, and running AI-enablement workshops for the people who work with them every day.

Away from the keyboard, sculpting with polymore clay is my offline activity. Working with clay is the opposite of working with large language models, slow, physical, and hallucinatory in its own way, which is exactly why I keep doing it. It helps me stay grounded, and reminds me that some things are best done by hand.
The rest of my time goes to traveling, films that reward attention, hanging out at tennis courts, and two cats who tolerate all of the above.
