The AI Feature Sprint. Ten business days embedded with a founder-led B2B SaaS team, shipping one narrow AI workflow into the product. Fixed scope, fixed price, a working prototype by Day 5.

Vectig. AI-native cash flow forecasting for early-stage founders, built solo with Claude Code, in public. It's also my test bench: most Sprint patterns run here before a client sees them.

The books. Forward Deployed AI Engineering explains the role. Founder Mode explains the operating practice underneath it. For the quick version of the first, read what a Forward Deployed AI Engineer is, or browse the best FDE books.

The newsletter. One email a week: Claude Code workflows, AI product distribution, and the weeks where nothing works.

Earlier projects. Sengi, a financial OS for freelancers, built solo as a learning vehicle for AI-native financial tooling. Paused to focus on Vectig and the Sprint.

Nivo. CEO, then CPO. Built the product organization and shipped AI-powered applications that grew to 200K+ users and 450% revenue growth before the acquisition.

Pangouan. Founding Head of Product until 2026. Joined before there was a product, a team, or a user, and built all three.

Finnova. Co-founder. A coworking space and accelerator backing early-stage startups. Seeing the ecosystem from the investor side changes how you think about everything.

Iran Startups. Co-founder of a founder community. Earlier, ran Techly, an English-language publication covering the Iranian startup ecosystem from 2014 to 2016, and wrote about The Lean Startup in Persian on the Business of Software blog when almost no one in Iran was talking about it.
