I'm Nilan — a BCIT Business IT (AI Specialization) graduate in Vancouver working across data, AI, and full-stack development. I've built for a grocery chain, a nonprofit, and small businesses — from SQL reports and Power BI dashboards to AI chatbots and full web platforms.
For Vancouver small businesses and teams: practical tech that saves time, from a first website to AI and data tools. English and Persian (Farsi) spoken.
Fast, mobile-first sites and full web apps with logins, dashboards, and a real database behind them.
AI wired into how you already work — customer chatbots (incl. English/Persian), smart search, and data Q&A.
Turn messy spreadsheets into clean data and dashboards that show the numbers a decision depends on.
Repetitive tasks set up to run on their own — orders, reports, emails, and data syncing between apps.
Look at how the work actually happens, then map where data, AI, and automation fit — practical, not hype.
Social media content with Canva and AI tools, plus everyday IT and system support for small teams.
A short call to understand your business and what's slowing you down.
A clear scope, timeline, and price — no surprises.
Weekly check-ins so you see progress and shape the result.
Go live, hand-over walkthrough, and help after launch.

Start a project →I build AI systems for real business problems: agents, RAG, MCP and automation, plus the data, finance and web work around them.
Searches store policies, checks stock, logs incidents and drafts purchase orders that a manager approves. On a 12-scenario test, tool-selection accuracy rose from 83% to 92% when I switched models.
Python · Tool calling · RAG · Ollama
A local RAG assistant that cites the exact policy section and says “I don't know” when the documents don't cover it. Scored 100% on a 23-question evaluation, including the trick questions.
Python · RAG · Embeddings · Evaluation
A small-business finance system with a profit dashboard, AI-written SQL on a read-only database, invoice checks and a cash-flow forecast. The invoice rules caught 5 of 5 planted errors with no false alarms.
Python · Text-to-SQL · SQLite · Document AI
A Python MCP server that gives Claude tools to add, update and follow up on job applications. I use it every day, and the data stays on my own computer.
Python · MCP · Claude · pytest
Customer ordering, POS, loyalty and role-based dashboards for cashiers, staff and managers, plus a bilingual AI chatbot. Presented to management at the grocery chain where I worked; the public demo uses a fictional brand.
Next.js · PostgreSQL · Prisma · LLM API
Built with a team of four for a real nonprofit client: AI intent-matching and voice search connect seniors and caregivers with community services. Delivered as a live app.

Support tickets routed by an agent that learns from every decision.
A reinforcement-learning agent that assigns incoming tickets to the best-fit support agent, with a real-time dashboard, built to improve SLA response times.
Python · Reinforcement learning
Answers plain-English questions about sales with a written summary and a chart. Works offline with rules, or with an LLM for open-ended questions.
JavaScript · LLM (Groq) · Charts
Loan approval odds, with the reasons behind them.
A logistic-regression model that trains in the browser and returns an approval probability, risk score and top factors, with precision, recall and a confusion matrix.
Logistic regression · Risk scoring
Next months' revenue, with an honest error band.
Learns trend and seasonality from monthly revenue and forecasts ahead with a confidence band, reporting R² and MAPE.
Regression · Seasonality · Charts
Forecasting airport ground-transport demand.
Compared regression models on YVR demand data. Random Forest performed best, with R² = 0.58.
Python · pandas · scikit-learn
Renting made searchable, deployed on Azure.
A housing platform with structured search, listings and role-based access, built by a team of four. Query optimization improved search efficiency and UX by 30%.

I'm not the loudest person in the room — I'm the one who notices what's slow and quietly fixes it.
I grew up in Tehran and moved to Vancouver about five years ago, rebuilding everything from zero — language, friends, and the way I work. That habit of rebuilding is how I approach systems: look at how the work actually happens, then redesign the workflow underneath it.
I focus on data and AI — dashboards that change a decision and tools that save real hours — and I can build the full app around them when it's needed. Discipline from sport and 13 years of music, creativity from art: that mix shapes how I work.
What's next: a role where I can put my BCIT training to work, while growing toward cybersecurity and building my own AI products.
Open to entry and junior roles in Vancouver or remote, plus freelance projects for small businesses. Email is the fastest way to reach me — I usually reply within a day.
