About Me

Hi! I’m Hamid Namjoo — a senior Computer Engineering student from Shiraz, Iran, passionate about Natural Language Processing, AI agents, and building human-centered technology. I’m currently working as a remote data analyst, with recent projects focused on RAG-based pipelines for semi-structured knowledge retrieval and natural language interaction, using FAISS, Transformers, and LangChain.

I’m on a mission to explore how AI can empower people: whether through smarter interfaces, accessible tools, or meaningful collaboration. I also create educational content around ML, DL, and NLP to help others learn alongside me.

If you're passionate about language, learning, and building the future of AI—let’s connect. I'm always open to collaboration, conversation, or just sharing ideas.

Developed a mobile application to present technical information for visitors and judges at the national Research and Technology Exhibition. Our project was recognized as one of the top innovations of the year in Iran's 2023 exhibition. This successful RA position led to receiving an RA Fellowship + Tuition Discount as part of the university’s recognition of academic contribution and research impact.

Hobbies

  • YouTube Channel:
    I run the HamidDidIt YouTube Channel, where I share in-depth videos on AI, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Natural Language Processing. I focus on making technical content clear, project-driven, and genuinely helpful for students and researchers.

  • Reading:
    I’m an avid reader who enjoys both fiction and nonfiction. My favorite genres include Fantasy, Sci-Fi, History, and Science. Books help me relax, think critically, and stay inspired — whether it's Tolkien’s worlds or cutting-edge ideas in AI ethics and neuroscience.

    I’m also deeply passionate about critical thinking, skepticism, and especially scientific skepticism. I enjoy reading authors who challenge cognitive biases and promote rational inquiry — from Daniel Kahneman, Rolf Dobelli, Ben Goldacre, James Alcock, Timothy Caulfield, John Cook, Brian Dunning to Yuval Noah Harari, Carl Sagan, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and Daniel Dennett.

  • Music Enthusiast:
    Music has always been a huge part of my life — from discovering new genres and artists to creating emotional playlists and experimenting with beat-making. I often explore how music intersects with tech, emotion, and culture. Whether I'm coding or winding down, there's always a soundtrack playing in the background.

  • Sports:
    I enjoy staying active through sports like Volleyball and Ping Pong. They’re not just great for fitness, but also for focus, reflexes, and clearing my mind after long hours of studying or coding.
