Things I've built
AI / EdTechFlowState
Founder & CEO
AI-powered study platform for students. Syncs with school systems, organizes assignments, and deploys an AI coach that turns an overwhelming workload into clear, manageable steps.
Tamrin
Personal Build
Tamrin means “practice” in Farsi. A fitness and nutrition tracker I built for myself — installable web app, no login, no backend, everything stored on device. Tracks workouts with progressive overload, food and protein against daily targets, habits and streaks, body measurements, and an AI coach that answers using only my own logged data.
Afshani Home
Personal Build
Home-automation system for my family's house. iOS app controls the pool and spa — circuits, heat targets, IntelliBrite colors and custom sequences — plus Alexa lights by room, voice announcements, and scenes that combine both. A Node service runs 24/7 polling the Pentair controller every five seconds into Supabase; a Cloudflare Worker handles the Alexa side. Live and in daily use, sideloaded to family phones.
Web DesignScotland Entry
Redesign
Redesigned a website for a friend — scotlandentry.com.
AI / VoiceJarvis
Personal Build
A voice assistant that runs on a Mac mini in my room and does what Alexa can't. Local “Hey Jarvis” wake word and on-device speech recognition, an LLM brain with tool use, and a cloned Jarvis voice. Controls lights, pool, Sonos and Spotify, wakes me up with music that escalates until a camera sees I'm out of bed, recognizes my face, and takes real calls and texts over Telegram.
EdTech / iOSEnsemble
Team Project
A language-learning iPhone app where friends, family and classmates learn side by side in private circles. 18 languages, 720 lessons, an adaptive placement test, spaced repetition and Enzo, an AI coach. Circles, leaderboards and live group quizzes run on each user's own iCloud — no accounts and no server holding learner data.

About me
I started coding because I wanted to fix things I found frustrating. FlowState came from watching classmates drown in assignments with no system to handle them. So I built one.
That's how I work: find something worth fixing, learn what it takes, ship it. Harvard's CS50x gave me the foundations to build faster and think more rigorously about systems.
Current focus
Growing FlowState and building the next thing. If you want to collaborate or just say hi, I'm easy to reach.
Writing
Posts on building FlowState and what I'm learning. Coming soon.
Get in touch
If you want to collab or build something together, or just have questions — reach out. Always happy to talk.
“FlowState actually changed how I manage my homework. I stopped missing assignments after the first week.”
Follow the build
I send occasional updates when I ship something new. No spam, no newsletters. Just what I'm building.
