Work Experience

AI Thesis Intern at KPN
May 1, 2025 - January 1, 2026
Led an MSc thesis project assessing privacy risks in enterprise RAG systems, focusing on whether sensitive data could leak from retrieved documents or from generator memory. Built a reproducible Python evaluation framework on top of an open-source RAG pipeline and configured retrieval over public datasets. Ran 4,890 prompt-based evaluations across retrieval settings and mitigation strategies, including scenarios where sensitive data was removed from retrieved context. Designed metrics for leaked sensitive item count, attack success rate, and newly leaked items versus a baseline, enabling systematic comparison of leakage behavior across RAG and plain LLM configurations. Identified conditions where context sanitization and system instructions changed leakage patterns and translated findings into practical recommendations for safer enterprise GenAI evaluation.
Frontend Developer at Nomatec
February 1, 2021 - December 1, 2023
Developed production-ready Angular/TypeScript features for an enterprise ERP platform including dashboards, point-of-sale functionality, and authentication interfaces. Translated user and business requirements into maintainable frontend features, reusable UI components, and practical ERP workflows. Integrated frontend features with REST APIs and collaborated with backend developers and product stakeholders in an Agile environment.
Software and Systems Engineer at Fars Scout Industrial Company
March 1, 2016 - December 1, 2020
Programmed PLC and HMI systems for metro station power infrastructure and an oil refinery gas recovery unit, translating engineering requirements into monitoring and control software. Developed integrated monitoring interfaces for equipment such as circuit breakers, transformers, UPS units, alarms, and interlocks to improve operator visibility and remote supervision. Contributed to a central control center system enabling monitoring and control of multiple metro stations from one location. Tested, deployed, documented, and supported automation software during commissioning while working with electrical/process engineers, technicians, operators, and maintenance teams. Trained operators and maintenance staff on system use, troubleshooting, and maintenance, and delivered assigned project tasks on schedule.
