Hi, my name is Rouzbeh. I am based in Mountain View, CA. I enjoy envisioning future technologies, working on engineering problems, and assembling engineering teams. I frequently find pleasure in identifying business cases for engineering solutions and determining how technologies can serve the end user's interests.

My core background is in Machine Learning, Software, and Electrical Engineering, yet working with startups has enabled me to undertake unexpected roles such as hiring and building engineering teams, participating in acquisition processes, traveling across Europe and North America for client meetings, negotiating business deals, and collaborating with colleagues in Sales, Operations, and Marketing.

📈 (Founder and CEO) 2021-2023

  • As Co-Founder and CEO of Value Cumulation, I initiated the venture solo, writing the software to provide financial insights into public companies. As the project evolved, I grew the team, incorporating design, engineering, and sales expertise. We operated independently for nearly two years but eventually decided to discontinue due to market saturation and intense competition. This journey offered me invaluable insights for future endeavors.
