Design, technology & everything I have built
From my first blog to design, software and products. A journey of learning, making and starting again.

Before the first office.
It started with a computer.
Before 2013 / Learning by doing
I started with blogs, then built 98soft.tk, a tutorial site that won first place in a school competition around 2009–2011. By sixteen, I was working under the name Devpedia and getting into graphic design.

A friend backed me. I thought we were going to change everything. Most days, I was designing logos and business cards.

The rent was higher than the work could support. My friend lost money. I was falling behind at university. We closed the office.

Music artwork, visual identities and packaging. I kept making covers as Devpedia after the office closed, then changed my artist name to Lunaticbrain.

Clients & collaborations
An independent creative practice. Where creativity meets technology. Independent by choice. Personal by nature.
There’s another side. Move to discover.Touch to peek. Reveal it all below.
Artechio. A one-person operation with unreasonable ambitions. And occasionally, they both crash. The team photo is a selfie. Professionally unserious.

Then came app interfaces, dashboards and more responsibility. As they saw what I could do, the collaboration grew. I worked across projects and roles, often at the same time.
WordPress, app UI/UX and portal design.

There was much more. These are some of the projects I can show.
During the internet shutdown amid the twelve-day war, we lost contact. That marked the end of our collaboration.
After the twelve-day war / Saiko
After the shutdown ended my previous collaboration, I was looking for work again. That search led me to Saiko, almost by chance.
Then the website became an app. A brand redesign followed. What I was working on kept growing.
Saiko / Packaging & production
Packaging design and print were familiar territory. Finding a direct supplier in China and arranging a large packaging order for Germany was new to me.
This time, the work extended beyond designing the box to figuring out who would make it and how to get it there.
2026 / Disconnected again
The internet went down in the middle of all this. I kept working on the Saiko app offline.
A nationwide shutdown. Access gradually returned before the next blackout.
Disconnected again. More than 2,000 hours before partial access returned.
The app work continued through the shutdown and is still ongoing today.

In the summer between finishing school and starting university, I worked at the Pardis residential complex in 2013 with Aks Construction Group, under engineers Fesharaki and Heydari.
I was around seventeen or eighteen. I handled technical and computer work, along with digital inventory management.
I was so far from my path. But I didn't stop.

01 / Before the office
A lot of the things I started never worked out. I'm still proud of them. Before my work had a proper title, I did whatever I could: blogs, phones, logos, business cards. I always wanted to see what else I could do.
It started at my aunt's house, sitting next to my cousin and watching him use his computer. Games, browsing, music, 3D work. I could sit there for hours. His sister showed me Photoshop for the first time. She worked in a photo studio, cutting people out of backgrounds and doing basic retouching.
Until then, I'd mostly just played console games. My mum told me to work and save some money, and she'd add the rest so we could buy a computer. That's how I got my first one.
At first, I mostly played games. Then I started making blogs and finding out what HTML, CSS, WordPress and Joomla were. Later, my tutorial site 98soft.tk won first place in a school competition.
One of my experiments was 98soft.tk, a childish copy of Soft98 where I posted tutorials, first in English, then in Persian. If I learned something, I wanted to try it.
I spent time on forums, cooking custom Symbian firmware for Nokia phones. Later I moved on to Android: unlocking bootloaders, flashing recoveries and installing different ROMs.
Eventually, that curiosity became useful outside my room. Phone shops around Ahmadabad in Mashhad knew me for getting Persian working on phones they couldn't figure out. Sometimes it was just a localisation tool. It felt simple to me, but it solved a real problem for someone else.
Those years weren't all easy. I was suddenly expelled from a school for gifted students. There were accidents, including one on the morning of my university entrance exam. Each of those things knocked me off course.
When I got into software engineering, university wasn't what I'd expected either. In the things I'd already explored on my own, I felt ahead of the classes. There was still plenty I didn't know. My idea of what I could do was much bigger than my actual knowledge.
My family supported me. My mum was the one who tried hardest to understand and help, even when there wasn't much she could do. I often didn't feel understood by my friends. I kept looking for a way to start something of my own.

Developers Pediadevpedia.ir
I was about nineteen, in my second or third semester of software engineering, when a friend and I decided to open an office. He worked with decorative stones and turquoise. He'd seen how absorbed I was in computers and all these experiments. He said he'd put up the money. So we started.
I had started using the name Devpedia on my own at around sixteen, when I was just getting into graphic design. Opening the office made Developers Pedia more serious. I published tutorials and offered web and graphic design services. I built devpedia.ir with HTML and CSS. I couldn't write PHP, and my WordPress knowledge was basic. In my head, though, we were going to change the world.
I thought we'd build websites for businesses, bring technology into what they did and take them somewhere much bigger.


I'd walk into estate agencies and say: those property listings you put in the window, let's put them on a website. A lot of people didn't take us seriously. Some laughed at us. We were young, had very little money and weren't good at presenting ourselves.
I felt like I could see something they couldn't see yet. But I didn't know how to convince them to pay for it.
Most of the actual work was logos and business cards. We had just one website client. They paid a deposit, then never made the final payment. That project didn't reach a proper conclusion either. There was a big gap between what I imagined and what was happening in the office.
The nights are what I remember most. Sometimes I'd stay until midnight, working on a tiny Samsung netbook. I still have it on display. Looking at that screen now, I honestly don't know how I used to design on it.
It struggled with two browser tabs. I'd removed Windows 7 Starter and installed Linux, hoping to get a little more out of it. That was the machine I was trying to build all of this on.
We'd rented a place in a good location, with rent the business couldn't support. Costs were ahead of income from the beginning. We kept going for about a year, but we couldn't make it last. My friend, who'd put up the money, lost a lot too.
Meanwhile, I was falling behind at university. I couldn't keep up with both. We had to close.
I thought that knowing my way around a computer and being ready to work meant I could run a business. That's what I believed when I opened that office, took on jobs and stayed behind that tiny laptop until midnight.
The office didn't become what I'd imagined. When I look at that photo, I'm still proud of myself at that age, and of what I tried to do.
