About

Omid Saffari. AI Product Engineer & Architect, building from Dubai.

I run four AI ventures and document exactly how I do it: build logs, working systems, and field notes from the work.

Track record

What shapes the work

Practice

16+

years designing and shipping software.

Ventures

4

AI businesses, one publishing engine.

Based in

Dubai

global English audience, MENA position.

Cadence

Weekly

newsletter, build logs, field notes.

Thesis

What I believe. And why I publish it.

Three rules

Publish what works.

Build logs and working systems outlast hot takes. The record is the moat.

Operator > consultant.

Most AI pilots stall because they're designed in slide decks, not production.

One brand, many ventures.

The products I run are the proof, not slides. One brand, one engine behind them.

Background

Practice

16+ years

AI-native practice

Every venture, every workflow, AI-first by default.

Three properties live

dvnc.ae, dvnc.agency, and dvnc.studio, each on its own infrastructure, separate markets, separate buyers.

Building dvnc.dev

The US AI-engineering property: Claude Code infrastructure, agents to production, custom control dashboards.

Rebuilding the hub

Publication-first homepage, the Tool Lab, and one focused way to work with me directly.
