Description

The fire of curiosity and adventure has always been alive in me. After years of hard work and dedication to building my life, I’ve decided to hit the road, travel the world, and put my skills to use wherever they’re needed. This isn’t just about exploring new places—it’s about hard work, real experiences, and hands-on contributions.

What makes me stand out is my versatility and problem-solving mindset. My core expertise is in desktop programming, which I’ve been doing professionally for 16 years. But beyond my technical background, I’m no stranger to real, physical work and getting my hands dirty. I can help with:

✔️ Construction & heavy-duty tasks
✔️ Electrical wiring
✔️ plumbing
✔️ Carpentry & blacksmithing
✔️ Gardening & farming
✔️ Hospitality & working in hostels
✔️ Home appliance & automobile repairs
✔️ Driving & working in fruit warehouses
✔️ General IT tasks & troubleshooting

I thrive in hands-on, physically demanding work, and I know the value of determination, adaptability, and teamwork. Whether it’s helping with renovations, fixing things, or assisting with farm work, I’m always up for the challenge.

✔️ Experience with Kids & Teaching
Aside from all that, I’m also a father to a 14-year-old daughter, which means I know what it takes to handle, entertain, and connect with kids. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children, keeping them engaged, and teaching them valuable skills.

✔️ On top of that, I can introduce kids to coding, electronics, and robotics in a way that’s both fun and educational. Whether it’s guiding them through hands-on experiments or sparking their curiosity about technology, I love passing down my knowledge.

✔️ Cooking & Cultural Exchange
I don’t just bring technical and physical skills—I also bring flavor! I have a passion for cooking, especially making traditional Iranian dishes and fresh, creative salads. If you’re interested, you can check out some of the meals I’ve prepared in my photos—because good food brings people together.

✔️ Language & Travel Goals
One of my main goals during this journey is to improve my English and dive into new languages. I have a strong interest in Dutch, French, Spanish, and Italian, and I’m eager to learn through real-life experiences.

When I’m not working, I enjoy technology, swimming, cooking, and photography—things that keep me sharp, active, and always learning.

✔️ Ready to Work & Explore
For me, traveling isn’t about sitting back—it’s about contributing, learning, and making real connections. If you’re looking for someone who’s skilled, hardworking, and ready to get things done, I’d be glad to be part of your project. Let’s build, fix, create, and make things happen!
