Born in Toronto, Canada, in 1991 to Iranian parents, I was immersed in their thriving real estate development business, which ignited my passion for Architecture and sustainability. Acquiring a professional degree in Architecture, and working full time as an Architectural Designer.

Bought my first Tesla — a 2018 Model 3 Performance — after years with a GT3 and M3. Loved the platform immediately but saw clear upgrade paths: spherical bushings, better arms, carbon ceramics, aftermarket suspension, smaller wheels.In 2024 I added a China-built Model 3 Standard Range and was stunned by the progress — especially the excellent FSD suspension. Constant OTA updates keep it exciting and turned me into a passionate advocate.I demo the cars to friends and family; many buy their own Teslas afterward. Most frequent question: "Do you work for Tesla?" My answer: "Maybe one day."
In 2020, I invested all my assets into Tesla stock, driven by my belief in the company's vision and leadership.

Completed a five-year professional degree in Architecture at the University of Southern California. Notable project work includes the Glass Pavilion, a collaborative design-build project featured in eVolo Architecture Magazine.
The Glass Pavilion emerged from a second-year studio focusing on materials and their structural properties. Working with fellow students under instructor Roland Wahlroos-Ritter, we explored folded plate geometry and origami techniques, ultimately creating a 1:1 prototype using over 800 polycarbonate pieces and 2500 zip ties. The project demonstrated innovative structural behavior and spatial transformation, serving as a proof-of-concept for a future glass pavilion.

A year after starting at Junior College, I completed all the required courses for admission to USC School of Architecture. My hard work paid off as I was admitted to the university a semester early, allowing me to continue my general education courses. Although the architecture studio officially started in Fall 2011, I was already at USC by Spring 2011.

At 17, I moved back to Toronto for 11th grade but found the experience so unfulfilling that I decided to accelerate my education. I crammed half of my grade 12 courses into that year and completed the rest during the summer in Orange County, alongside college courses. This strategic move was aimed at transferring to USC School of Architecture (Class of 2016), where my older brother was already studying and where he would graduate in 2013.

Upon returning to California in the summer of 2009, I obtained my high school diploma in August, while my peers were just beginning their senior year.

From ages 14 to 16, while attending JSerra High School, I worked in the school's IT Lab.

We were pioneering in our region, being one of the first high schools to provide laptops and internet access to all students.

In summer 2004, at age 13 (two years before high school), I launched two defining tech journeys. I built and networked 16 computers for my parents' company, sparking my lifelong passion for IT and systems. At the same time, I completed an intensive 3-month college-level program at UCI, diving deep into robotics (sensors, control systems, robot programming), HTML (web structure, semantics, responsive basics), and C++ (OOP, algorithms, data structures). These experiences built strong technical foundations and fueled my drive to use technology for real-world impact.

At the age of 10, I moved from Canada to the USA, embarking on a new chapter filled with cultural adjustments and new experiences. Two years later, at age 12, I officially became a US citizen, marking a significant moment in my life that broadened my opportunities and perspectives.
Born in Toronto, Canada, on November 13, 1991, to two Iranian immigrants who were real estate developers, my life began amidst the world of custom homes, later expanding into townhomes, high-rises, and mega-mansions, shaping my early influences in architecture and development.
