Recent projects I'm excited about:

Hi,

I'm Onee, born in 1999 and raised in Iran until 2022, when I immigrated to Canada. I am currently a Product Manager at HeyGen. Our goal is to help people tell better visual stories. My focus is on understanding our ICP and addressing their needs in areas such as AI dubbing (video translation), AI studio, product placement, and video agent. Try out all of these features here -> HeyGen

These are other companies and projects I’ve worked on:

Omnicart | MCI Group | Hezardastan Group | Ewano | Hiveguide

I come from a technical/design background and prefer to stay hands-on with code/figma to help move fast and maintain agility within the organization. I collaborate closely with research engineers, software engineers, product designers, the community team, growth, sales, and enterprise—working across functions to keep the product aligned with both user needs and company goals.

I consider myself in “founder mode”: deeply committed to the product, willing to put in the hard work, and ready to take on ambitious challenges. I’ve led cross-functional teams to build and scale user-centric products, some of which have served up to 100 million users.

These days, I specialize in AI video technology. I stay as close to users as possible by talking to customers daily and using those insights to guide product direction.

Outside of work, I occasionally create short (5-second) videos that I post on Instagram. I also stay active in the AI community—retweeting interesting developments on X and sharing valuable insights or thoughts on my blog.

And, these are ethical works that I am proud to have contributed to.
