about

i'm parsa. AI2 incubator (core team). co-creator of turing minds — 22 speakers, 16 turing award winners, 1 nobel laureate, 10k attendees across stanford, MIT, yale, georgia tech. 1st growth hire at moondream and 1st hire at fashn ai (model companies). co-founder of doozy. UW, summa cum laude.

the pond is where i think out loud. long-form essays about AI, building products, immigrant grit, and the stuff that doesn't fit in a tweet. no optimization. no algorithm. just writing that needed more than 47 seconds.

i write for the person i was at 17 — scrolling reddit at 2am, building projects nobody would see, looking for the one post that felt like someone was finally talking directly to me. if you're that person right now, this is for you.

if you want the old portfolio, parsas.studio. i built it when i was trying to prove things. i'm not trying to prove things anymore.
