Novels to animation: the AI-first stack
How illustory.Studio turns a story into graphic novels and 3D animation — microservices, Docker, and Generative AI orchestrated around natural language.
I design and build products end-to-end — from first commit to edge deployment. My goal is to write maintainable, clean and understandable code so the process of development stays a pleasure — not a debt.

... /about me ...
Hello — I'm Emad. I'm a full-stack engineer and serial founder with more than 10 years of building products that hold up under load.
I've founded and shipped products from Tehran to Dubai — an AI-first animation studio, a books platform on the edge, and two exited companies. I care about the seams: the places where systems meet and most teams stop paying attention.
