Hi, I’m Mojtaba.
I’m a traffic engineer focused on operations, safety, and data driven decision making. I write about transportation and engineering in the Professional section, and explore ideas and perspectives beyond engineering in the Personal section.
I also design and build practical web tools, especially for transportation analysis and technical workflows. Some began as solutions to problems I encountered in practice and have grown into tools others can use as well. You can explore them in the Studio.
Visit the About Me page to learn more about my background, interests, and work.
