Son of Iranian immigrants, raised in LA dismantling things to see how they worked — I build security systems, design websites, and read Hermes Trismegistus on lunch breaks.
Zonebrite installations and Safaii Studio builds. What this mind produces when it turns toward commercial problems.
Long-form writing on craft, systems, philosophy, and whatever else demands the longer argument.
Books, records, films, tools, and references that are part of how I work and think. Everything here earned its place.
Observations that don't need a full essay but deserve to exist somewhere. Dated, not promoted.
Technical decisions explained at the level of thinking required to make them. Where the developer identity lives.
What I'm working on, reading, watching, training, and thinking about at this moment.
Things that are mine. No professional justification required or offered.
