I turn messy, complex problems into clean systems that scale:
products, businesses and platforms that work in the real world and keep working as they grow.


⚡ Right now

building:
  - Whalyon:  AI business-health platform that diagnoses root causes, not symptoms   # founder · live, free launch
  - VOHU:     evidence-first publishing for small businesses (vohu.app)              # co-founder · pilot
  - Whalory:  makes the AI you already use write like a pro copywriter, EN + FA      # open-source core ↓
based_in: Tehran (UTC+3:30)

🧩 The 5P method

Five questions I settle before anything gets built. Skipping one is how eighteen months disappear.

01 Purpose why does this exist? · 02 Product smallest proof · 03 People whose behaviour must change? · 04 Path first user → thousandth · 05 Place what the market permits today
