ABOUT ME
I'm Aryan Behzadi — entrepreneur, engineer, and systems thinker with a passion for building technology that makes a difference.
Currently serving as the CTO at Grutto.com, I lead the technical vision for a platform that's transforming how businesses operate. My focus is on building scalable systems that leverage AI and automation to solve complex business challenges.
My journey from Iran to entrepreneurship has shaped my approach to problem-solving and my belief in technology as a force for positive change.
MY JOURNEY
Born in Iran, my family's journey to find freedom shaped my earliest understanding of systems, borders, and the power of determination. This foundation of resilience would later inform my approach to entrepreneurship and problem-solving.
The experience of navigating between cultures taught me to see patterns across different contexts — a skill that would become invaluable in my work with complex systems and technology.
I began my professional journey as an independent consultant, working with various companies to solve complex technical challenges. This early experience exposed me to diverse industries and problem domains, from AI-powered automation systems to enterprise software solutions.
During this period, I developed mobile applications for startups, created interactive games for entertainment companies, and built enterprise software for established corporations. This diverse portfolio taught me to adapt quickly to different technical stacks and business requirements.
Founding ARize was a transformative entrepreneurial venture where we pioneered 3D and augmented reality solutions for e-commerce and digital experiences. We successfully raised millions in funding, built a talented team across multiple countries, and delivered innovative solutions to major clients.
This successful venture taught me invaluable lessons about technology scaling, international team building, and bringing cutting-edge technology to market. The technical expertise I gained in 3D pipelines and real-time rendering continues to drive innovation in my current work.
Following ARize's success, I expanded my consulting practice to focus on more complex, high-impact projects. I began specializing in AI workflow design, helping companies implement intelligent automation systems that transformed their operations and reduced costs significantly.
My portfolio grew to include enterprise applications for Fortune 500 companies, sophisticated mobile apps with millions of users, and cutting-edge games that pushed the boundaries of interactive entertainment. Each project reinforced my expertise in scalable architecture and systems thinking.
As Chief Technology Officer at Grutto.com, I'm leading the technical vision for a platform that's transforming how businesses operate. My focus is on building scalable systems that leverage AI and automation to solve complex business challenges.
This role combines my passion for systems thinking with my technical expertise in software architecture, AI workflows, and team leadership. I continue to take on select consulting projects that align with my expertise and allow me to work on cutting-edge challenges across different industries.
PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY
"I build to stay in motion — to turn complexity into clarity, and ideas into things that move."
This philosophy guides everything I do, from software architecture to team building.
I believe that the most powerful systems are those that blend technical excellence with deep human understanding. Technology should serve people, not the other way around.
My approach to building is guided by a few core principles: simplicity over complexity, scalability from day one, and always designing with the human experience in mind.
The journey from exile to execution has taught me that resilience isn't just about surviving challenges—it's about using them as fuel to build something meaningful. Every system I design carries this philosophy at its core.
