About Me
I’m a Master’s student in Computer Science at Simon Fraser University and a research assistant at the Network and Multimedia Systems Lab (NMSL), supervised by Dr. Mohamed Hefeeda. My research focuses on real-time bandwidth optimization system for cloud-based VR gaming which combines deep learning, cloud infrastructure, and multimedia systems. I completed my bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering at Iran University of Science and Technology, where I explored virtual machine placement strategies in cloud environments. With over nine years experience in academia and industry, I’ve actively pursued opportunities to deepen my experience in software engineering, cloud computing, and network and multimedia systems through research, hands-on projects, collaborations, and continuous learning. I’m eager to contribute to forward-thinking teams by applying my technical knowledge to push the boundaries of modern computing technologies.
