A space for professional thinking, personal pursuits, and reflection.

Hey! I’m Caspian, though some know me as Mojtaba.

I am a traffic engineer with a background in operations, safety, and data-driven decision-making. I write about these topics in the Professional section, and explore ideas, learning, and perspectives beyond engineering in the Personal and Reflections sections. For more about my background, interests, or ways to connect, visit the About Me page.
