Born in Hamadan and raised in Canada, I was educated to postgraduate level and have an MBA from the University of Prince Edward Island. I am a senior-level IT entrepreneur with over twenty years of global experience and a proven track record in applying an appropriate and practical mix of technologies that meet business needs while minimizing risks. Moreover, I am a motivated achiever with the demonstrable ability to recommend enhancements to a range of enterprise operations and processes.

Following collaboration with several blockchain software developers on new products for the financial services sector, I finally started working on my own Fintech project in 2016. Since then I have been instrumental in building teams of experts that have developed a series of blockchain ecosystems, including digital assets as loan collateral, cross-border payments and digital banking, and have developed a following on Medium and Hackernoon with my insights into the crypto sector, including DeFi and NFTs.
