About me
Hi, I’m Omid. I studied software engineering, and most of my work has been on backends and servers, first with my university classmates and later with the Chartbox team. Some of our projects worked out and many didn’t, and I learned something from each one.

Selected work
All projectsTradingFinder
A site that introduces, compares and reviews brokers, crypto exchanges, prop firms and more, plus custom indicators for TradingView, MetaTrader and NinjaTrader. In Persian, English and Turkish.
Kojafood
An app a bit like Foursquare, with restaurants on a map. Many people in different cities of Iran collected menus and photos from restaurants. It was also shown at the Tehran tourism exhibition.
SMS Panel
A promotional SMS service with a directory of business numbers. The base came from elsewhere; I upgraded and rewrote it. Resellers could point their own domain to our server and change the theme and colors.
SMS Stock Alerts
Iran stock market info by SMS, from the days before fast mobile internet was everywhere. Subscribers could set a price alert on a symbol, or get index data by texting a command to our number.

Fun ideas & making things
I really enjoy making tool sites and playing with fun ideas for the web, and I’m very interested in the crypto, blockchain and web3 world. If you want to talk tech, or need a hand with something, I’d be glad to help as far as I can. This pixel pad is yours too. Draw on it.
