About Me
Some facts that might interest you!
Who Am I?
My journey in the US began when I crossed oceans to California, chasing dreams for my family and myself. I restarted my life, so I know how to start from scratch. As a dad, I’m dedicated to teaching my son little lessons that can make big impacts in the world. Professionally, it’s the thrill of innovation that drives me—no obstacle is too big, no path too tangled. If there isn’t a path, I’ll create one. My superpower? Being a people person. I thrive on making connections, learning about new perspectives, and cherishing every relationship along the way. Open to debates, but bring your facts to the table—otherwise, let’s agree to disagree.
When I’m not working, I look for new things to learn, whether it’s fixing minor car paint scratches, building a website like this from the ground up with no prior experience, or pursuing an MBA degree when I just had a new baby. I never tire of learning or experiencing new things.
Walking, reading, exploring the world, playing with my son, and watching sci-fi movies are my things. I know they’re not special and might seem boring, but I make them special by making them fun. Like learning Spanish while I walk (thanks to Duolingo), or throwing a surprise party to watch a new movie, there’s always a creative way to turn boring stuff into exciting ones.
I’ve received multiple awards in my career for various projects; the last time, I won the same prize twice—the Cisco Enterprise Product Team Level-UP Award.

What Content I have created?
I like spreading what I have learned; I see it as a tax on my knowledge. I haven’t paid much of it, and I work on it to pay off my debts.
Podcast
Motivated by a strong passion for innovation and entrepreneurship, I started EspressoTaSobh, it means espresso till morning, podcast to tell the incredible stories of successful businesses to other immigrants. It seemed most natural to embrace Farsi, my native tongue. This podcast is for business enthusiasts who can understand Farsi or read subtitles.
