About Me

I am a mechanical engineer with a master's degree from Shiraz University, where my thesis focused on developing a formula for calculating friction in granular material pneumatic transportation. With extensive experience in industrial machine design, I have contributed to numerous large-scale projects across multiple industries.

My passion for mechanical design started at an early age, influenced by exposure to industrial design and machinery components while accompanying my father, an instructor at Fars Institute of Technology. At the age of 16, I achieved first place in a national machining competition (Universal Lathe Machine) in Iran.

In 1998, I started my career at Farassan Company while completing my master’s degree and soon became a full-time design engineer at Farassan GRP Pipe Plant. I was later promoted to Farassan’s Central Office, focusing on Oil & Gas projects, particularly cooling tower, air cooler, and fan design.

In 2001, I became the first official employee of Farabard Company, an affiliate of Farassan, and later led the Fan Department. By 2007, I was appointed Head of Factory at Farabard Industrial Machinery Manufacturing Plant, overseeing the production of CNC Continuous Filament Winding Machines for GRP pipe manufacturing. In 2009, the company was recognized as an “Outstanding Industrial and Exporting Unit” by the Ministry of Industries and Mines. One of my most significant achievements came in 2010 when I designed the world’s largest hydrotest system for GRP pipes, delivered to a major client in Turkey.

Later in 2010, I moved to Canada with my family, hoping to find better life opportunities and looking forward to making new discoveries. In my ten-years of professional career in Industrial Machine Design, I have successfully completed many great projects for oil and gas refinery plants, petrochemical plants, melt steel plants and power plants across Iran.

At GrandPipe Manufacturing Inc. (2011–2014), I managed multiple design projects, introduced fiberglass pipes to municipalities in Greater Vancouver. Using FEA and motion analysis, I optimized designs for structural integrity and performance.

At Coastal Pacific Crane and Hoist Engineering LTD. (2015–2020), I designed heavy-duty industrial cranes and hoists with capacities up to 120 tons, applying CMAA and CSA standards. My work included FEA stress analysis, complete engineering documentation, and streamlining design processes using SolidWorks PDM and ERP systems.

Currently, at Seaspan Shipyards (2020–Present), I provide structural design support for shipbuilding projects. My work includes structural analysis, and developing heavy lift and transport solutions. I optimize structures through FEA, ensure compliance with design standards, and support shipyard operations.

I am honored to contribute to the following projects at Seaspan Shipyards:

• Joint Support Ships – Multi-role naval vessels providing fuel, provisions, and humanitarian support.

• Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel – Canada’s primary ocean research ship, dedicated to studying climate change impacts.

• Multi-Purpose Vessels – Versatile Coast Guard ships designed for icebreaking, search & rescue, and marine navigation.

• Polar Icebreaker – The largest and most powerful Canadian icebreaker, built to withstand extreme Arctic conditions.
