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.
Founding ARize was my first major entrepreneurial venture, where we pioneered 3D and augmented reality solutions for e-commerce and digital experiences. We raised millions in funding and built a team across multiple countries.
This journey taught me invaluable lessons about technology scaling, team building, and the importance of resilience when facing market challenges. The technical expertise I gained in 3D pipelines and real-time rendering continues to inform my work today.
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. Every day brings new problems to solve and opportunities to build technology that makes a difference.
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.
