I'm a Ph.D. in computer engineering, graduated from the University of Toronto with Prof. Andreas Moshovos as my advisor.
I'm currently working at Jump Trading, enjoying a fast paced environment as a hardware engineer. In the past, I've worked at Altera Corp. both as RTL designer and verification engineer.
In 2005 I finished my undergraduate studies at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, Iran. Then I moved to Canada and in 2007 finished my M.A.Sc. at the University of Victoria. From 2007 to 2013 I studied for my Ph.D. in soft processor architectures at the University of Toronto.
