Selected work

Challenge, architecture, solution, outcome.

  • Booq — Persian-first AI video translation and dubbing

    Booq is a live, Persian-first AI platform that brings the work of translators, voice actors, studios and editors into one web app. As CTO, Mohammad Panahi defined its architecture and took it from first commit to production: video translation and dubbing, audio, music, images and film, paid from one wallet.

  • Kartez Contract — AI contract drafting, review and editing

    Halted by the client one month from completion, for war-related funding reasons. The engineering write-up below is the part that outlived the contract.

  • Sino — industrial AI, from zero to customer sale

    Three years taking industrial AI products from zero to a delivered, sold product, and optimising the models to fit hard industrial and cost constraints. The work spanned large language models, graph neural networks and computer vision.

  • Persian text-to-speech research for MCI

    Persian text-to-speech research, commissioned and supervised by MCI (Hamrah-e Aval) under Iran's National Elites Foundation. The hard part is linguistic: Persian script leaves short vowels and the ezāfe unwritten, so pronunciation has to be decided from context.

  • Medical imaging — MRI denoising and gene expression from pathology

    Speckle-noise reduction in MRI for a private company, and an MSc thesis at Isfahan University of Technology on recovering gene-expression signal from digital pathology images, combining graph neural networks, vision foundation models and adapted language-model techniques.

  • Barzaman — an offline-first planner and calendar across three calendars

    Barzaman is a live, offline-first personal planner and calendar for students and Konkur candidates, teachers, medical staff, engineers and managers. Mohammad Panahi founded it and leads its product and engineering. It runs natively on Android and Windows and on the web, keeps the user's data on the device, and syncs between devices only when the user chooses an account.

  • Beshkaneh — a VPN service bought and managed inside a Bale messenger bot

    Beshkaneh is a live VPN service founded and owned by Mohammad Panahi. Users buy and manage their configs inside a bot on the Bale messenger, @beshkanehbot. It is built for families and companies: an account holder buys configs and shares them with members, and built-in filtering blocks adult content and time-consuming social media such as Instagram.
