Congrats @SpaceX team and @elonmusk on a hell of a V3 Starship launch. One step closer to the Moon…one step closer to Mars 🇺🇸

It's hard to believe one year has passed. I have been thinking of my older brother almost every day. I miss you, Shervin 🖤

The product manager role is evolving with AI. It is no longer just about customer discovery in the early stages of product development. The PM should build the MVP with AI coding and gather feedback by demonstrating how the product looks, designing it and building it too

@mdubowitz It’s best to stay within areas of expertise when sharing opinions. Sharif University is well known as one of the world’s top engineering institutions, a reputation recognized by leading scientists and engineers

Sharif University of Technology is not just Iran’s top engineering school. It is a talent pipeline for missile, cyber, and dual-use military programs tied to the regime and IRGC. That is why the US government sanctioned it. sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/Details.aspx?i… federalregister.gov/documents/2012…

Heading to the ARPA-E Energy Innovation Summit. ARPA-E reflects what we believe at @OpalAI: back hard problems early, move fast, and turn breakthrough research into real-world impact. Energy and climate resilience sit at the core of what we’re building from wildfire intelligence to grid risk, and the intersection of AI + physical infrastructure. Looking forward to connecting with others pushing the frontier. If you’re there, let’s meet. #ARPAE #EnergyInnovation #ClimateResilience #AI #DeepTech #ARPAE26

For the first time in 50+ years, humans are flying beyond low Earth orbit. @NASAArtemis II is heading to the Moon at ~25,000 mph and coming home. It sounds simple. It’s anything but. NASA’s budget: ~4% (Apollo) → ~0.3% today. Much of the old lunar infrastructure is gone. And yet—we’re going back. This time is different. Reusable rockets, AI, and modern tech are making space scalable. Apollo proved we could go. Artemis is about staying. This mission unlocks what’s next: lunar return, Gateway, and a sustained presence on the path to Mars. As someone who worked at @NASAJPL on autonomy for Mars missions, this one hits close to home. This is the kind of long-horizon thinking that makes the future real. A small step today. A much bigger vision ahead. @NASAAdmin 🎥 youtube.com/live/6RwfNBtep… #ArtemisII #NASA #Space #Moon #Mars

“Nothing happens in Iran unless the people want it... we are always looking for an outside savior.” As Iran faces unprecedented war, my late mentor @Firouz_Naderi’s vision resonates. While it is helpful that the regime is weaker, foreigners will not change it and won't be a savior to Iranians. True freedom cannot be dropped from the sky; it must boil from the inside. A lasting, secular democracy can only be driven by the will of Iranians themselves.

Today, humanity returned to the Moon. @NASAArtemis II lifted off from Kennedy Space Center this evening — the first crewed lunar mission in 53 years. Astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canada’s Jeremy Hansen are on a 10-day journey around the far side of the Moon, traveling 252,000 miles from Earth — farther than any human has ever been. Victor Glover becomes the first person of color, Christina Koch the first woman, and Jeremy Hansen the first non-American to reach deep space. This one is personal. My career started at NASA JPL, building autonomy layer systems for spacecraft missions. That same technology is now the backbone of what we’re building at OpalAI — protecting communities from wildfires, optimizing critical infrastructure, and deploying physical AI where it matters most. Congratulations to the NASA, CSA, and Artemis teams. The next giant leap is underway. 🚀 #Artemis2 #NASA #MoonMission #SpaceExploration #OpalAI #PhysicalAI

There is an AI-focused innovation summit at Pepperdine University today. It is free to register and attend. I’ll be giving a talk on using AI to combat wildfires at 2:30 PM. wavesinnovationsummit.com

Over 100 civilian casualties have been reported in Iran, according to a nonprofit organization. Wars can easily spiral out of control, and innocent lives should never be taken wsj.com/livecoverage/i…

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Tried the new @SouthwestAir seating system today. The plane was 60% empty, yet passengers were clustered together instead of spread out. Major operational shift after decades of open seating and it feels like the rollout needs work

I’m giving a talk on wildfire management today at 11 am at @GeoWeekExpo Bluebird Ballroom 3E

Happy LNY!

LA → Denver → @GeoWeekExpo → The Future of Spatial Intelligence I’m heading to Denver for GeoWeek and looking forward to presenting and joining a panel discussion on: 🔥 Advanced Remote Sensing Data Classification Approaches for Wildfire Risk Assessment We are building systems that turn spatial data into actionable intelligence, improving how we detect, monitor, and respond to wildfire risk in real time. February 18, 2026 | 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM 🏗️ Benchmarking the Future: Automated 2D Floor Plan Generation from Reality Capture From point clouds to digital twins, reality capture is reshaping construction workflows and enabling smarter asset management. February 18, 2026 | 1:30 PM to 2:15 PM Wildfires and digital twins may seem worlds apart, but they are connected by the same foundation: high quality geospatial data powering better decisions. If you are attending GeoWeek, let’s connect in Denver. #GeoWeek2026 #SpatialIntelligence #RemoteSensing #WildfireTech #DigitalTwin #AECInnovation #OpalAI

I'm thinking about how Elon was able to grow Twitter, purchased for $42B, merge it with xAI, and turn it into $250B. Selling the dream and a good story would make a huge difference compared to showing revenue for startups

@MBA_AlThani_ The new Iran will contribute the best technological solutions alongside the latest tech from the USA, Qatar, and Iran. The new regime would foster collaboration and rapid economic growth in the region

إقامة المؤتمر والمعرض الدولي الـ21 للغاز الطبيعي المسال للمرة الثانية في قطر تؤكد دورها المحوري في أمن الطاقة العالمي وتلبية احتياجات المستقبل، بالتزامن مع الشراكات المتعددة مع الشركات المختصة في مجال الغاز، لبحث أفضل الحلول المبتكرة التي تسهم في صياغة مستقبل أمن الغاز الطبيعي.
