Experience & Achievements

Twenty years in software—from embedded systems and robotics to full-stack product engineering in Helsinki. I lead teams, ship customer-facing platforms, and build Simorg on the side. In search of the answers to the fundamental questions of the creation I endedup finding them in the Abrahamic Consciousness. I started learning the original languages of the Abrahamic Religions and started to see the patterns and the wisdom behind the creation. Inspired by this journey, I started to build Simorg, a programming language and a platform for the creation of the digital universe.

Quranic Studies
Canceled
Master Of Quranic Tafsir (Interpretation)
Cancelled

Al-Mustafa, International University of Qom, Iran

I enrolled in this master’s program back in the fall semester of 2024 to study Qur'anic interpretation, its methods, history, and textual context. Unfortunately, as it turned out, the program was heavily biased towards a specific political and ideological agenda. My master's thesis which focused on the common parts of Abrahamic religions was rejected after almost 1.5 years of discussion and follow-ups with the thesis committee. The thesis committee insisted on a different thesis topic, something that was strongly rejected from my side. The study discontinued after the fourth semester, even though almost all the courses were passed. Although it was a failed experience, one thing I learned from it is what could go wrong with a program that is derailed from its original purpose affected by political and ideological pressures, not giving any room for academic freedom and critical thinking. As a famous Persian proverb says: "From whom did you learn good manners? From those who do not have one.". More details will be shared in a future blog post...
