I’m the Founder, CEO, and CTO of EkipMate Hub Inc., a Vancouver-based tech company building EkipMate, a large-scale social networking platform focused on real-world connection. I was also previously the Co-Founder and CEO of BCTV (Bit-Channel), a Malaysia-based Persian television and media network where I produced and hosted over 200 episodes of Persian content.

Career

Over the years, I’ve worn several hats: entrepreneur, software engineer, and TV producer. I began programming and designing in 2002, driven by a passion for building things that are both technically solid and creatively distinct.

My background blends engineering and artistic thinking, ranging from leading BCTV (Bit-Channel), where I produced, directed, and presented TV programs, to developing mobile, web, and backend systems across a wide range of platforms and stacks.

BCTV ( also known as Bit-Channel) was a Persian television network I co-founded in 2010 in Malaysia. Some ex-co-workers commented on my working attitude in this video (30 Sec).

Education

I hold a first-class honours degree in Software Engineering from Staffordshire University (UK) and APU (Malaysia), and I pursued a Ph.D. in Computer Science at UBC in Vancouver. I care deeply about user experience, system architecture, and product vision.

Latest Obsession

Over the years, I’ve also launched several other ventures, including Bit-Magazine and BitReviewers.

EkipMate is the culmination of that journey: a platform shaped by years of solo development, design obsession, and a vision for authentic social connection. It is the most ambitious and complex product I’ve worked on so far. The platform is currently in Beta and preparing for public release.
