Hey, I'm Samyar

I'm a 22-year-old tech geek who's been buried in servers, AI models, and full-stack hacks for years—so you don't have to be.

I serve as CTO at BrandRap (marketing agency) and Rately.ai (mortgage platform), but here it's just me, your personal tech sidekick.

"Building technology that actually works
and doesn't make you want to throw your laptop."

My Tech Arsenal

The tools and technologies I use to get shit done (and avoid "YAML" when possible). I know a lot of things at basic and medium levels - here's what I work with.

What I'm Really About

Real Solutions

I build automations, chatbots, data pipelines, and custom systems that actually save time and money—no "pretty dashboard" traps or unnecessary complexity.

Full-Stack Muscle

From spinning up Linux servers and Docker configs to shipping React dashboards, I handle the messy bits so your team stays sane.

Fractional CTO

Need a stack audit, roadmap guidance, or critical security checks? I jump in, point out landmines, and lay out a no-BS plan.

No Fluff Approach

You don't need a full-time exec—just a seasoned nerd who's built and scaled two businesses and can get your tech working properly.

My Story (The Short Version)

I started coding when I was 16 because I was tired of waiting for other people to build the tools I needed. Fast forward a few years, and I've helped build and scale two successful businesses while learning every hard lesson about what actually works in tech.

At BrandRap, I built systems that process millions of data points for marketing campaigns. At Rately.ai, I'm developing AI algorithms that help people make better mortgage decisions. Both taught me that good technology should be invisible—it should just work.

Now I help other founders and businesses avoid the technical pitfalls I've already stepped in. Whether you need someone to audit your stack, build automation that actually saves time, or just want a straight answer about what technology you actually need—I'm your guy.

Let's Skip the Fluff
