I am a senior undergraduate computer engineering student at the School of Computer Engineering, Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST). My passion lies in understanding and optimizing the lowest levels of computing stacks: from kernel internals, memory management, and compiler instrumentation hooks to high-throughput network datapaths (DPDK / eBPF) and hardware performance counter diagnostics.

Currently, I conduct research at the Deep Observability Lab under the supervision of Dr. Seyed Vahid Azhari, where I build conditional dynamic runtime tracing extensions for uftrace and instrument line-rate packet processing pipelines.
