Summary
Ashkan Moatamed is a software developer with eight years of experience who blends top-tier academic performance in Computer Science and Pure Mathematics with hands-on work in industry and research. Based in Old Toronto, he develops production software at Pars Capital while drawing on past research at York University and the Fields Institute in distributed computing, approximation algorithms, and bounded-disagreement problems. His technical interests span machine learning (online and reinforcement learning), algorithms, cryptography (including elliptic curve and post-quantum schemes), and decentralized systems, giving him a rare cross-disciplinary fluency. As a multi-term teaching assistant for advanced data structures and computational complexity, he excels at explaining complex concepts and translating theoretical insights into practical code. Notably, his dual-specialization GPA (3.97 CS, 3.93 Math) and early research roles reflect both rigorous formal training and a sustained drive to tackle foundational problems behind scalable, secure systems.
