Summary
Pouya Tehran is a tech lead and entrepreneur with four years of hands-on experience building high-performance web systems and leading engineering teams across Iran and the region. He has led large-scale, high-load projects at Digikala—designing a self-service reporting platform, SLA-aware queueing, data masking, and ultra-low-latency SQL over billions of rows—while also founding product and consultancy ventures (Sakoo, Fibona) that accelerate startup delivery. Comfortable across the full stack, Pouya applies pragmatic architecture, containerization, and performance-first engineering to turn complex requirements into measurable improvements (e.g., reducing report delivery from two weeks to one day and >70% query performance gains). He pairs technical ownership with product thinking and people development, writing career roadmaps and boosting team OKRs through transparent leadership. Now based in Tehran, he combines telecom-scale thinking at DARIA with a founder’s appetite for building new platforms and training the next generation of engineers. A detail that often surprises peers: he balances deep systems optimization with rapid prototyping, from Android assistants to 3D browser games, demonstrating both algorithmic rigor and creative breadth.
