About

My name is Sina Iravanian (pronounced /si:'na: i:r@va:ni:'a:n/ and spelled in Persian as سینا ایروانیان). I was born in Tehran, Iran in June 1983.

I have a Master's in computer science and a Bachelor's in computer engineering, and have worked for more than 7 years as a software designer and developer. Besides my studies, most of my jobs consisted of a research component in one of the major branches of AI (mainly natural language processing, and financial time-series prediction).

I love open-source software, and would love to make my tools and utilities publicly available. I've already made some of them open-source (see my ohloh profile), and will do the same to the rest when I find the time to clean-up the code and add some documentations. And wait, the product to my last job is also an open-source software called Virastyar. I contributed a set of natrual language processing components and the Microsoft Word Addin using VSTO and C#.

Although I'm a very lazy blogger, I maintain two blogs (one in Persian and the other in English). The English blog is a technical one, which I use to log my experiences :), and contains code snippets and coding patterns which I find repeating and happening regularly.
