👋 Let me introduce myself
I got married at 24, when my startup was thriving. Life felt perfect, until it all collapsed💣. My startup failed, my confidence was shattered, and I had to start over from scratch. Being a game developer in Iran had its own challenges, and my English wasn’t great. I felt stuck, unable to make real progress. So, my wife and I made a bold decision: we left everything behind and moved to a small town in Turkey. It wasn’t glamorous, but it was a fresh start.
😰 I began freelancing on Upwork, but quickly realized it wasn’t sustainable. The constant grind was exhausting, and I knew I needed something more stable. After countless rejections, my persistence finally paid off, I landed a role as an Associate Producer at YallaPlay, a U.S.-based game studio. That first international job was a game-changer. Working with an amazing team, including a Canadian producer, taught me invaluable lessons about leadership and collaboration.
Since then, I’ve grown into a Lead Producer role, working directly with CEOs and leading teams to success. The journey hasn’t been easy, but every failure and challenge shaped me into who I am today. I’ve learned to embrace resilience, persistence, and self-belief—because when you refuse to give up, even the hardest climbs lead to incredible views.
