I’m an Iranian-American entrepreneur, technologist, and futurist with a career spanning over four decades at the forefront of innovation. My background in information technology, telecommunications, and payment processing has fueled a lifelong passion for solving complex problems and building disruptive technologies. Over the years, I’ve founded and led multiple startups that have pushed the boundaries in blockchain, cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, and decentralized finance. Now, I’ve turned my attention to speculative fiction.
My debut novel, Utopia: The First Awakening, is a cerebral, cinematic sci-fi epic that explores the emergence of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), the awakening of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI), and the high-stakes ethical dilemmas they create.
Drawing on my real-world experiences, I’ve built a future where humans, post-humans, and sentient machines fight not just for survival—but for purpose, morality, and coexistence in a world transformed by technology.
With Utopia: The First Awakening, I invite readers into a thought-provoking future—one where the lines between human and machine blur, and the true test of progress is how well we preserve our humanity.
