  • I've worked with Shahriar since 2021 on various projects, including at my last organization, Agora. When assigning Shahriar a task, I have the utmost confidence as he has been my swiss army knife any time I needed assistance or a task complete. Anybody who has the privilege of working with him will say the same, I promise.

  • I had to hire Shahriar twice, once at Agora and once at Timescale and hiring him was one of the best decisions I made. He is so reliable, hardworking, and always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. His technical skills are top-notch, and save a lot of time and effort for the team. I cannot recommend him enough!

The Guarantees

Clear commitments
from strategy to ship

The 3X Guarantee

We use the audit to find the AI opportunity worth building. If we do not uncover a projected opportunity worth 3X the audit fee, the audit is completely free. If you move forward with the build, we credit the full audit fee toward it.

The Ship-It Guarantee

We agree on the scope and launch date before the build begins. You always know what is included, what is out of scope, what comes next, and when it will ship. If we miss the deadline because of our work, the final payment is on us.

Start with the problem.

Bring a product problem, a new idea, or a feature that is not earning its place. We will help define the right next step.
