Product Builder
About Mehrdad
Independent Product Builder
I'm an independent product builder: I research, design and build real businesses and products — careful on the design side, fast on the build side with AI.
My work spans software and hardware product design, AI solutions, smart city concepts, fintech startups and invention commercialization. I partner with startups and businesses to turn bold ideas into market-ready products.
I don't sell hours — I ship outcomes. Every engagement runs the same Forward Deployed Engineering loop that took Quiz of Koko from a blank page to a live product: scope honestly, design the riskiest assumptions first, build fast with AI and human judgment, then let real usage decide what comes next.
The proof lives on this site, not in adjectives: a live AI vocabulary game, a published pitch deck, and a 19-post series documenting the whole journey. When you want the same treatment for your product, start with the MVP Sprint.
How I work
- 1Scope — the real problem, written down, before any code
- 2Design — riskiest assumptions first, a one-page scope you keep
- 3Build — AI speed, human judgment, daily clickable progress
- 4Launch & learn — instrumented outcomes, evidence-gated decisions
Proof, not promises
