Experience

Experience & Training

A path from hospital IT and server infrastructure to system deployment, clinical data analysis, and healthcare AI research.

Professional Timeline

Jan 2026 – Present
University College Dublin

Research Assistant — VICTORY Project

Supporting healthcare innovation and digital-health research within the VICTORY project. Translating clinical and research requirements into structured digital solutions, and building and deploying the systems that deliver them, across multidisciplinary academic and healthcare teams.

→ Designed, built, and deployed a production Moodle platform with custom plugins, used by live healthcare-education cohorts

Sep 2024 – Present
University College Dublin

Research Assistant — ID4AI Project

Contributing to healthcare AI innovation and inclusive-design research within the ID4AI project. Working within interdisciplinary teams spanning healthcare, technology, and research, with a focus on AI evaluation, adoption, and human-centred design.

→ Contributed stakeholder analysis and adoption frameworks supporting responsible AI in clinical settings

Sep 2023 – Jan 2026
University College Dublin

Researcher — Clinical Data Analysis & Informatics

Conducted healthcare data analysis using SQL, Python, and research methodologies, and designed data-quality and governance frameworks for clinical AI and healthcare-analytics systems. Supported transparency, FAIR-data, and interoperability initiatives, and produced stakeholder-ready reports and analytical outputs.

→ Produced peer-reviewed outputs published in Ergonomics (2025) and presented at HEPS 2025 and IHFES

Jan 2024 – Feb 2026
University College Dublin

Teaching Assistant

Supported undergraduate teaching and practical lab sessions across computer science modules. Guided students through coursework, assessments, and technical problem-solving in programming and data-related subjects.

Sep 2024 – Jan 2025
St. James's Hospital Dublin

Industrial Placement — Clinical Data & Informatics

Evaluated healthcare data collection, quality management, and reporting practices across a major acute hospital. Identified data-quality gaps across multiple departments, documented reporting standards, and produced structured analytical outputs for clinical and senior operational stakeholders. Applied healthcare-informatics methods to assess data transparency and accountability across a complex clinical environment.

→ Surfaced systemic data-quality gaps; analytical outputs used by senior clinical and operational stakeholders

↳ This placement confirmed what I had observed from the IT side: the data problems in healthcare are rarely technical — they are human, organisational, and systemic.

May 2023 – Sep 2023
Mashhad University of Medical Sciences

IT Specialist — Sharyati Hospital

Provided IT support and systems administration within a clinical hospital environment. Working directly in a hospital setting made the gap between technical infrastructure and clinical realities visible — the moment that shaped my move into Medical Informatics and research.

Aug 2015 – Aug 2022
Gostareh Danesh

Server Manager & Web Department

Seven years managing Linux server infrastructure (Debian), web services, email systems, and security configurations. Coordinated with frontend and backend developers on server-side architecture and deployment. This hands-on technical grounding — how systems are actually deployed and where they break — now informs how I deploy, analyse, and evaluate systems in healthcare and AI contexts.

→ 7 years running production infrastructure; the deployment foundation behind my applied work today
