About Me

I love physics-based simulations! I've received my B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineernig from K.N. Toosi University of Technology where I had the pleasure of researching on real-time deformation methods under Dr. Ali Nahvi's supervision. My focus was computational mechanics, but during my studies, my childhood passion for computer games and game developement cultivated and I started self-studying CGI and computer graphics. I worked as a freelance effects artist for a year after which I joined NasirSimulator as an Unreal Engine developer where I've been working on developing more realistic physics simulations and virtual environments for our driving simulators.


I am an avid rock climber, constantly seeking new opportunities for outdoor sport climbing and bouldering. If you can't find me, try looking up :). Also I love playing the guitar you can find some of my original music here.

Not So Funny Jokes :D

“-What’s the integral of 1/cabin with respect to cabin\?
-most people will say ”LOG CABIN!\”
-no, its a boathouse. log cabin PLUS C”
