A brief history of MI
The MI-raculous Odyssey
You can choose to start the timeline from the Past or the Present.
(or just keep scrolling)
Born in Tehran, raised in Cyprus, and after Istanbul, now residing in Berlin, I've been making a mess of the tech and design world for over a over 15 years. Former computer engineer turned motion designer and web developer, I've worked with the best (and worst) of them. Gold W3 award? Check. Own AI hobby? Double check. Minimalist, perfectionist, and always seeking new challenges? Obviously.
When I'm not ruining the digital world, I'm trying to teach my cat how to code (good luck with that).
I created an interactive timeline of my past and present you can check out from the link below.
