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

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

I started as a mining engineer at the University of Birjand (B.Sc., 2010-2014) before moving into software. Now I bring the two together, building AI and automation systems for industry and resources.

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.
