Résumé

The human in the loop

I build between
code and reality.

Portrait of Kiarash Delavar Deventer, NL

Hi, I'm Kiarash.

I grew up in Mashhad, Iran. Now I live in Deventer and study Software Engineering at Saxion. Moving to a new country taught me to learn fast, ask clear questions, and work with many kinds of people.

I enjoy work where software meets the real world. My experience covers full-stack products, backend systems, AI, computer vision, and robot safety. I like to understand the full system and make it useful for people.

Outside work

Active body.
Curious mind.

I enjoy staying active, playing chess, learning languages, discovering new places, and thinking about startups and useful product ideas. Hiking helps me reset, fitness gives me discipline, and robotics keeps me curious.

  • Gym & fitness
  • Learning languages
  • Exploring the Netherlands
