Arman Arzani

I’m a Persian-German computer scientist and an AI engineer who loves turning complex ideas into practical solutions, basically connecting theory with “does this actually work?” With experience in machine learning, data analysis, and software development, I enjoy tinkering with technologies that have a real-world impact.

My journey in tech has been a mix of curiosity, trial and error, and occasional “aha!” moments, which helped me build a diverse set of skills and tackle a variety of challenges. I’m always learning, collaborating, and exploring new ideas, mostly so I can keep up with AI before it takes over the world.

Academic Background Innovation Knowledge Management

When I'm not buried in code or research papers, you can usually find me exploring the world, or at least planning my next escape from it. Traveling gives me a fresh perspective, while my two cats make sure I never forget the art of persuasion (mostly convincing them to forgive me for leaving the house).

I also love getting my hands messy with clay. Sculpting is my offline, hands-on therapy. Shaping something tangible helps me counterbalance all the abstract thinking I do in front of a computer. When my hands aren’t covered in clay, I’m likely watching a thoughtful film, drawn to cinema that asks good questions, rewards attention, and lingers long after the credits roll.

Between traveling, cat diplomacy, clay adventures, and a deep appreciation for intelligent movies, life outside tech keeps me curious, playful, and ready to bring new ideas back into my work, often with a smile, sometimes with a smudge of clay on my sleeve.
