Full-stack developer / data visual thinker

Melika Hashemi

I build responsive web systems, analytical dashboards, and immersive experiments where code, perception, and human-centered design meet.

PERCEPTION

Perception research

VR, softness, and human perception

My Birmingham thesis explores how people perceive material softness in virtual reality, using Unity, haptic feedback, visual cues, and behavioral data analysis.

Chapter one

Engineering foundations

My path began in Electrical Engineering at K.N. Toosi University of Technology, where I learned to think in systems, signals, and precision. That foundation still shapes how I approach software: carefully, structurally, and with curiosity about how each part affects the whole.

Chapter two

The teaching chapter

Teaching in school strengthened the human side of my technical work. It trained me to explain complex ideas clearly, notice where people get stuck, and turn knowledge into something approachable. That experience now helps me design interfaces that feel understandable, not just functional.

Chapter three

Master's in perception

During my MSc in Cognitive Neuroimaging and Data Science at the University of Birmingham, I moved deeper into computational neuroscience, VR, haptics, and material perception. My research gave me a richer view of how people sense, interpret, and respond to digital environments.

Chapter four

Growing as a developer

Along the way, web development became the place where all of those threads came together. From Django booking systems to React data visualizations and real-time analytical interfaces, I have grown into a full-stack developer who builds with both technical depth and human context.
