I'm Ali Hesari, an engineering lead and founder.

I founded OwlStack, an open-source automation framework, and Profitable, a real-time stock-market analysis platform that processed 800+ symbols in under 30 seconds. I run PorterBridge, a technology studio building products at the intersection of AI and industrial systems.

I started as a Mining Engineer at the University of Birjand (B.Sc., 2010-2014) before moving into software, and I'm now bringing both back together — building AI and automation systems for industrial and resource contexts.

I also run Tech Farsi, a Persian-language software-education platform with five active courses, alongside writing here on this site.

I write about engineering leadership, founding products, and the unglamorous decisions behind both. If you're an experienced engineer trying to build something of your own without quitting your day job, you'll find some of this useful. Selected work lives on the startups page.
