Eight milestones

Freelance: design, layout, web, art direction. Learned that an idea is worth nothing until it is a defensible, delivered output.

CompanyHouse. Tried to turn a legal specialist's tacit knowledge into software. It ran for a year and taught me that knowledge extraction is the hard part, not the code.

Aghigh. From individual execution to repeatable execution capacity — a standing production pipeline, a contributor network, and recurring organisational clients.

Bamana, Ketabno, HisTory, NoJahan, Mehrabani, Soha, Mastoura. Seven products. The shift from serving other people's briefs to being accountable for a product's outcome.

VP of Product at Aghigh. Not one product — a portfolio, with the allocation problems, the prioritisation fights and the fragmentation that come with it.

WritingChex. Co-founder and CPO. Concept, MVP, validation, first paying customers, and eventually the decision to wind it down.

Emkan. Territorial development, investment promotion, maritime economics — turning national development policy into products people can navigate.

Tamin Tejarat Espahbod Khorshid. CPO across Shalize, Mokaab and Goldoon. 1,000B+ Tomans gross transaction volume (reported), 4,000+ customers. Product theory meeting a market that settles in physical gold, every single day.
