The ventures, products, and research I lead, from an AI receptionist for dental clinics to a tumor-classifying neural net.

Managing Lead / Jan 2026 - Present

24/7

An AI receptionist for Canadian dental clinics.

Zory answers the phone, books appointments, and handles patient intake so front desks stop dropping calls. I lead the product and the web build, designing the booking flow and the way the AI hands off to staff, with patient privacy built in from the start.

Tehran to Aurora, the short version.

I moved from Iran to Canada at twelve without speaking much English. That same year I won my school's mathematics award. I have been compressing timelines ever since.

My parents have lived apart for more than three years so that I could focus on school. I don't take that lightly. It is the reason I would rather build something real than wait for permission to start.

Today I am an IB Diploma candidate at Cardinal Carter, learning to code so I can ship tools that solve real problems in medicine. Trombone and soccer keep me steady. Science is where I want to leave a mark.

Leadership and service.

Where I have put in the hours: founding, organizing, and showing up for the community.
