Ashkbiz Danehkar studied electrical engineering and computational science at the University of Rostock, Germany, where he obtained a Master of Science in Computational Engineering in the special field of Electrical Engineering in 2007. He worked as a software and hardware developer for some private limited companies until 2005, mostly focusing on industrial automation and microcontroller programming. During 2005–2006, he worked part-time remotely as a software reverse engineer for Panda Security (Bilbao, Spain). His master's thesis in 2007 was about the development of a microcontroller-based measurement system using an embedded system equipped with a real-time operating system (RTOS) and an AVR microcontroller to monitor the neuromuscular blockade and control the anesthesia.
