Literary Work

Bidar Literary Magazine (in Persian)

I co-founded this online literary magazine and led its editorial direction for three years. We curated more than 12 themed issues and organized Iran’s first digital short-story competition, which received more than 700 submissions.

I write daily across fiction and non-fiction genres and am currently drafting a philosophical fiction. I translated Karl Popper’s Three Worlds into Persian.

Creative Coding

In my spare time I build tools and contribute to open source. Selected work includes Agents.jl, ShamirSSS.jl, FuzzyCognitiveMaps.jl, EvoDynamics.jl, LifeCalendar, and a Persian thesaurus.

Music

I practice classical Persian music through Setar and Kamanche performance and study composition within Iranian modal systems (Dastgah). I have been a core member of the Setar Cultural Association since 2014, helping organize Iranian classical music concerts in Zürich.

Photography and Reading

I enjoy photography as a way to observe light, texture, contrast, and composition. I also keep a Goodreads profile.
