Technology and product leader translating mainframe-grade reliability into scalable AI, data and robotics products — across banking, enterprise platforms and emerging technology.
A rare span: the low-level systems that keep banks running, and the emerging technologies that will replace them — held together by product and organizational leadership.
A selection of projects where the margin for error was zero — national banking infrastructure, first-in-country platforms, and production AI.

↗ b2n.ir/w73609Invited as the sole representative from Iran to the international IDUG and DB2 World conference in Bangalore, India — the global gathering of DB2 specialists.
With more than twenty years of professional experience, I have worked as CEO, technical deputy, project manager and consultant across informatics, AI, blockchain and banking systems. My core specialty is large-scale Mainframe systems and their application to banking informatics.
In recent years I have extended that foundation into the edge of technology — leading AI, blockchain and business development as a deputy and advisor, and currently serving as a technology director shaping products from research through to production.
Alongside engineering, I hold an advanced coaching certification from the international coaching association (ICI, Europe), and I teach, write and translate. I am currently developing informatics, AI and robotics ventures at an international level.
