Founder & Lead Roboticist
Estella Humanoids Startup
Shiraz, Iran
Founded and currently lead the development of Estella, a humanoid robot designed to replicate human anatomy and simulate facial expressions with high fidelity. Responsible for mechanical design, prototyping, and system architecture. Estella blends expressive movement and lifelike mechanics, inspired by real human motion and emotion. Focused on creating open-source and research-driven solutions for human-robot interaction.

Painverse Telemedicine Startup | Medis Studio
Shiraz, Iran
Contributed to the development of a telerobotic system enabling remote physical examination using humanoid robots and an XR interface. Led the project management, mechanical design, kinematic analysis of the Vira robot and implemented real-time motion logic for safe and natural human-like interaction. The project aimed to address physician shortages in remote areas by integrating robotics with telehealth.

about me
I’m a robotics engineer focused on designing expressive, human-inspired machines. My work brings together mechanical design, biomechanics, and robotics to explore how technology can move, behave, and connect like us.
Over the past 9 years, I’ve worked at the intersection of mechanical design, biomechanics, and robotics. I’m the creator of Estella—a humanoid robot inspired by human anatomy—and I’ve also contributed to telerobotic systems like Painverse. I believe in building technology that speaks to human needs. And I follow that belief like a white rabbit—through engineering, storytelling, and innovation.
