I build fast, reliable backends with C#, ASP.NET Core, SQL Server and Redis, and I research tensor decomposition methods for learning from big data. More than ten years of production engineering keep my research practical, and the mathematics keeps my engineering rigorous.
CP decomposition: a sum of rank-1 terms; here a single term, T ≈ a ∘ b ∘ c.

I am a senior .NET backend engineer with more than ten years of experience building high-traffic systems with C#, ASP.NET Core, SQL Server, Redis and Docker. I have delivered .NET 6/8 microservices, SQL Server optimization and a Redis high-availability architecture for online assessment platforms serving about 89,000 students and 45,000–70,000 concurrent users at exam peaks, and before that I worked on banking and financial systems. I work hands-on as a technical lead: performance tuning, distributed caching, production troubleshooting and mentoring backend teams.
After a B.Sc. in Applied Mathematics, I earned an M.Sc. in Computer Science at Tarbiat Modares University, where my thesis, Big Data Learning with Tensor Representation, developed tc-SVD, a tensor decomposition built on a cosine-transform product, and learning methods on top of it. I have also been a teaching assistant for Advanced Machine Learning and Data Mining.
Full bio, career and key facts
I work in industry and in academia: I build production systems that stay fast under pressure, and I research the mathematics of large-scale data.

A personal note on what carried over from a master's thesis on tensor decompositions to more than ten years of .NET backend work: the shape of data, updating instead of recomputing, honest measurement and the math behind tools.
Detecting early mild cognitive impairment against healthy controls in resting-state fMRI with tc-SVD, and updating a tensor decomposition as new data streams in instead of recomputing it.
Equal N per track made year-to-year IRT comparisons more controlled, once a subtopic-key bug that hid 13 of 30 questions was fixed. Bar charts, boxplots, item information ranks and the scale-linking problem show why equal sample

Turning written exams into more than 5,000 structured, database-ready questions: extraction, LaTeX conversion, compile checks, LLM tagging of topic, skill and difficulty with a JSON schema, and why a human review console stays in
Two alternatives to a narrow-prior 2PL estimator: a hierarchical branch whose latent scale flipped in one run, and GIRTH's marginal maximum likelihood. This part shows what larger coefficients, held-out log loss and bootstraps
The prior mode was named vague, yet it put Normal(0, 0.1) on discrimination and difficulty. Fixed-question experiments, a prior sensitivity check and a 434-student simulation show how that shrinkage tracked sample size.
