Highlighted experiences

• I started computers and programming as my main activity when I was 10 years old, more than 20 years ago.
• I worked for about two years at Farmers Edge Inc. as software developer and senior software developer which helped me learn a lot about multi-disciplinary teamwork, GIS and growth stage businesses.
• I wrote the code for Graphesent Anim diagram and process visualization software currently belonging to Gradelms Software Inc. with Canada business number 709803886 which is founded by me.
• I was lucky to be the tutorial instructor for the tutorial of Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science course at the University of Lethbridge for two semesters. (I love discrete mathematics).
• My master's studies research at the University of Lethbridge under supervision of Dr. Stephen Wismath was focused on graph drawing.
• My current PhD studies research at Dalhousie University unders supervision of Dr. Fernando Paulovich is focused on multi-dimensional and high-dimensional projection.

How to contact me

• If you know my first name and you know my last name and you know how to put a dot between them and you know the domain name for Dalhousie University, probably you can guess my email address. If not try messaging me on Linkedin.
