Meet the team

The people who will actually be on your project.

Eight people, deliberately. Everyone here builds, and everyone here talks to clients — because the shortest path between a business problem and a working system is a short one.

Leadership03

The founders review the architecture themselves. They are not a sales layer you meet once.

01
Hessam K. Rad, Founder & CEO

Hessam K. Rad

Founder & CEO

The question they always ask

“What happens to the business if we do nothing?”

Why it matters to you

It is the fastest way to find out whether a project is worth building at all — and we would rather tell you that in week one than in month six.

What they will tell you for free

Most AI projects die because nobody agreed what “working” meant before the build started.

Owns
Solution architecture, LLM and agent systems
Depth
Full-stack delivery, data platforms
Signature
BI modernisation, production agent systems
02
Mehrdad Azmin, Co-Founder & CTO

Mehrdad Azmin

Co-Founder & CTO

The question they always ask

“What does this look like at ten times the load, maintained by someone who is not us?”

Why it matters to you

It is the reason nothing we hand over falls over in year two.

What they will tell you for free

Most outages are decided at design time, not at 3am.

Owns
Data and AI engineering at scale, platform reliability
Depth
ML and analytics, MLOps
Signature
Large-scale system delivery, technical leadership
03
Neil Mayers, Chief Revenue Officer & Advisor

Neil Mayers

Chief Revenue Officer & Advisor

The question they always ask

“What would make you fire us in a year?”

Why it matters to you

Asking it up front surfaces the mismatch while walking away is still free for both of us.

What they will tell you for free

If an agency agrees with everything in the first call, you are buying a sales process, not a team.

Owns
Go-to-market, partnerships, client success
Depth
Talent strategy, business strategy
Signature
Partner ecosystem and enterprise playbooks
The team04

The people you work with day to day.

04
Mehdi Chamiani, Lead Software Engineer

Mehdi Chamiani

Lead Software Engineer

The question they always ask

“Who is maintaining this after we leave?”

Why it matters to you

It decides how the code is structured, documented and handed over — not just whether it works on launch day.

What they will tell you for free

Clever code is a liability. Someone has to read it at 2am with an incident open.

Owns
Delivery, code standards
Depth
Full-stack engineering, React and Python, technical leadership
06
Sara Disvsalar, Senior Project Engineer

Sara Disvsalar

Senior Project Engineer

The question they always ask

“What has to be true before this can ship?”

Why it matters to you

Dependencies, environments and sign-offs are what actually move a date. Naming them early is why our delivery estimates hold.

What they will tell you for free

A blocked task nobody has said out loud is the most expensive thing on a project.

Owns
Delivery coordination, release readiness
Depth
Engineering project management, environments, handover
07
Mahrokh Alaei, Lead QA Engineer

Mahrokh Alaei

Lead QA Engineer

The question they always ask

“How would we know if this number was wrong?”

Why it matters to you

A dashboard that is confidently incorrect does more damage than one that visibly fails.

What they will tell you for free

Test the data, not just the application. Reporting bugs are almost always silent.

Owns
Test strategy, data correctness
Depth
QA automation, visual regression, release gates
Advisory01

Brought in when a problem deserves a second expert opinion.

08
Silas Toms, Advisory Board

Silas Toms

Advisory Board

The question they always ask

“Does this actually need a map?”

Why it matters to you

Spatial interfaces are expensive to build and easy to get wrong. Sometimes the honest answer is a table.

What they will tell you for free

If your users are searching rather than exploring, you want a filter, not a map.

Owns
Geospatial advisory
Depth
Spatial data engineering, Python and GIS, PostGIS
