Hey, I am Reza Jelveh!

Hey, I am Reza Jelveh!

I’m a classically trained computer engineer who has worked on everything from integrated circuit testing to cloud-native architectures. A self-taught programmer since a young age, I love building things, participating in hackathons, contributing to open source projects, and solving hard technical problems.

Outside of programming, I enjoy Capoeira and spending time with my family. I’m fluent in five languages.

If you’re a founder—whether of a small startup or a large company—and trying to get closer to the silicon while scaling your organization, I can be a powerful asset to your team. I have a deep understanding of the entire tech stack and can help build, program, architect, and occasionally even invest in projects that align with my interests.
