My Projects

EagleEye

EagleEye is one of my favorite projects. It is capable of finding an arbitrary object available in the COCO dataset (e.g. a dog) by scanning through public IP cameras and performing object detection using YOLOv3 object detection model.

Minesweeper

The familiar and classic game of Minesweeper, now available on your web browser! One can also customize the size of the board and the density of the mines.

GreenSignal

A console-based server-client application for secure messaging and file transfer over a network. GreenSignal is powered by RSA and AES encryption algorithms and provides features for server management as well.

The Art of Mathematics

A small project I did in high school. Mathematical functions can be found everywhere, even in art and nature. Need evidence? This website contains some examples!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A user-friendly interface to interact with The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection API. Includes every artwork that has an available picture in the dataset (except ones that are strictly copy-righted).

Profiles


  Experiences

2021 - Present

Professional Projects

Began to take on more challenging projects requiring diverse expertise and creative problem-solving skills. A few examples include a secure self-hostable server-client messenger written in python and powered by RSA and AES encryption algorithms with a straightforward CLI, and a multithreaded command line tool designed to explore and analyze public IP cameras to find objects of interest using machine learning algorithms. More can be found on my website and GitHub page.

2017 - Present

Web Design Projects

Created multiple web pages and online tools such as web-based remakes of popular classic games (e.g., MinesWeeper), web interfaces to interact with API endpoints, an online portfolio, and several Discord bots aimed at automating everyday tasks.

2018

Python Certification

Developed my programming skills by taking a 60-hour course on Programming with Python at Tehran's Institute of Technology (graduated with a score of 100/100).

2018

Full Stack Web Developer Course

Reinforced my knowledge and understanding of web design by participating in a 67-hour online coding bootcamp on Full Stack Web Development at Udemy.

2017 - 2018

Freelancing

Started to do small projects on a freelance basis. Did web design and server maintenance for a few elementary schools in my home city and volunteered in a program organized by the Ministry of Education of Tehran aimed at improving the efficiency and robustness of online education platforms.

2016

Robotics Championship Tournament

Expanded my knowledge in the field of robotics and electronics by competing as part of a team in a local robotics championship tournament. Received 1st place out of the 12 teams that entered the competition and managed to reach the finale. This experience helped me to improve my teamwork and problem-solving skills.

2015

First Programming Experience

The first time I ever programmed anything, was in 2015 when I worked with a team to build an electronic welcome board for my high school. The LCD screen was powered by AVR microcontrollers, and my role was to program the integrated circuit with C++ in design phase and do the soldering of the circuit in implementation phase. This volunteer experience was of high significance to me and hugely impacted my future life decisions.
