Hey there! I’m Hadi, born in 1989 in Iran. Growing up, I spent a lot of time at LAN parties and basketball courts. I wasn’t the best student, but I still managed to get my bachelor's in Industrial Engineering in 2011. After facing a string of rejections from universities in Europe, I finally got accepted by LUT—and it felt like a dream come true!
In 2013, I arrived at Ruskonlahdenkatu, ready to dive into my master’s in GMIT, survive Finnish winters, and enjoy student life. It was during this time that I started figuring out who I really wanted to be. Innovation, global projects, and working with diverse cultures made me feel right at home.
After graduating in 2016, a Skype call with a professor in Tokyo marked the start of my journey in Japan. Since then, I’ve worked on multimillion-dollar projects developing stylish and safe buses, and now I lead a team of product managers handling Mitsubishi Fuso buses across over 50 markets.
So, if you're still with me, thanks for sticking around! Maybe I can help out by listening to your thoughts and sharing a few bits of advice from my journey. LUT holds a special place in my heart, and I’d love to give back to the community.
That said, I’m on the lookout for mentees who are focused and ambitious. One thing to keep in mind is that I’m based in Tokyo, and if you’re in Finland, we’ve got a bit of a time zone difference. So, evenings in Finland won’t really work for me – just something to consider when scheduling.
