About me
Hello đź‘‹
My name is Mostafa Sedaghat Joo and I am a software engineer. Nice to meet you. I specialize in distributed systems, cryptography, and networking — building things that are reliable, secure, and simple.
I believe that code is art, and that art is the fountain of youth. Just like a painting or sculpture, a well-crafted program can be a masterpiece. Leonardo da Vinci once said, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication,” and I believe creating elegant software means keeping it simple and smart.
La vita è bella
Life is beautiful — the touch of a flower, the sound of rain, the fall of sun, the rise of moon. The most important thing in life is life itself
I love music, from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, old but gold! Also I am a fan of classical music (Persian, European, and Russian). I can’t stop listening to Marooned - Pink Floyd.
I love reading novels. Perhaps the best novel I’ve read is “War and Peace”: “It is not beauty that endears, it’s love that makes us see beauty.”
I love cinema, but I admit that I’ve never watched the Star Wars or Game of Thrones. They’re too boring for me. Instead, I love Twin Peaks, The Third Man, Where Is the Friend’s House?, Chinatown and Rashomon. I could add more to this list.
And I love mathematics. Mathematics is the alphabet by which the universe transcribes its secrets. We do not invent mathematics; we are archaeologists of an eternal, invisible architecture. My favorite formulas are Euler’s identity and the Gamma function.

I write, so I am
You may have heard the famous quote from René Descartes: “I think, therefore I am.” I learned from a person I truly admire, Leslie Lamport, that to think better, we need to write better: “You have to write better to think better to write better.” (Think and Write)
So, I try to write here about what I think, to think better. I believe that many readers of my blog don’t like long posts, so I try to write short and clear.
