What I'm doing now
One commercial focus, one live R&D lab, two books, one newsletter. The hierarchy matters.
Commercial focus: 10-business-day AI Feature Sprint for founder-led B2B SaaS teams. One narrow AI workflow shipped into their product. Fixed scope, fixed price, Day-5 prototype guarantee.
Live R&D lab: Vectig, AI-native cash flow forecasting for pre-seed-to-Series-A founders. Built solo with Claude Code, in public. Every workflow pattern I sell to a Sprint client has shipped in Vectig first.
Authority and method: two books, Forward Deployed AI Engineering and Founder Mode. The first explains the role; for the short version, see what a Forward Deployed AI Engineer is. The second explains the operating practice underneath it.
Trust and capture: weekly newsletter covering AI-native product building, Claude Code workflows, and the unglamorous middle of solo SaaS.
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.
Selected work
Nivo. CEO, then CPO. Built the product organization and shipped AI-powered applications that grew to 200K+ users and 450% revenue growth. Acquired.
Pangouan. Founding Head of Product (to 2026). Zero to one: no product, no team, no users. Built it from the ground up.
Finnova. Co-founder. Coworking Space and Accelerator backing early-stage startups. Got to see the ecosystem from the investor side, which 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 (2014 to 2016), and wrote about The Lean Startup methodology in Persian through the Business of Software blog when almost no one in Iran was talking about it.
