ME

 Welcome

Hi.  I’m  Pooria, a Computer Science student at the  University of Prince Edward Island. Currently, I’m working on my honours thesis, which is designing and implementing descriptive programming language called LISA. LISA is designed for performing tests and operations on formal languages. You can read more about LISA by navigating to LISA’s page from the main menu.

“Programming” and “Programming Languages” are the two that I would define myself with, and  I’m passionate about these two topics. The field of Programming Languages is very closely related to the field of Software Engineering as well as the theoretical Computer Science. This  gives me the opportunity to enjoy the applied as well as theoretical computer science at the same time.

I love designing and implementing robust enterprise applications. I’ve worked for years in the industry as a software developer and I gained Microsoft Certified Application Developer when I was in high school. Seeing the future, and design a expandable, and reusable software fascinates me.  Getting the design and implementation right from beginning  is my goal in software development.

I like to deal with new problems and challenges, rather than do a routine job throughout my life. This mind set improved in my soul once I became a University-level student. The more I found about challenges in the field of Computer Science (specially Programming languages and Software Engineering), the more I wished to conduct research on the field. LISA is the result of such feeling and the need in myself. I hope you find it fascinating  too.

Flying

It’s not all about Computer and Computer Science. I’m also passionate about aviation. I’m a licensed Private Pilot. I fly different class of single and multi-engine aircraft. Flying is an art, much like programming. Having hand in Computer Science and Aviation enabled me to  build a couple of useful aviation-related applications. Moreover,  criticalness of avionic systems introduced me to Formal Methods, and soon I became a big fan of it.
