About me
Sara Bavifard
Information Technology Engineer
I am an Information Technology Engineer with hands-on experience in Web3 platform development, Solidity smart contracts, and blockchain documentation. Throughout my career, I have aimed to combine technical expertise with knowledge sharing by creating educational content, translating specialized resources, and supporting developer communities.
My main interest lies in research and work at the intersection of blockchain and artificial intelligence — particularly in Zero-Knowledge Proofs, AI privacy, scalability, and decentralized systems. I enjoy tackling real-world challenges and strive to build solutions that are secure, sustainable, and impactful.
I am fluent in English, Persian, and Arabic, with basic knowledge of German. Working in international, remote, and collaborative environments is not only natural for me but also something I truly enjoy.
