Shipping AI products where the model is the core, not the sprinkle.

I'm Sherry — eight years of full-stack engineering, now compounding into production AI. Currently shipping ApplyDay solo. Building RAG-grounded, agentic pipelines that stay grounded by design.

How I got here

I wrote my first line of production code in Iran in 2015. This past April, I shipped my first AI product solo in four days.

Between those moments — eight years of full-stack engineering across Iran, Montreal, and Toronto. I'm not transitioning away from engineering. I'm doing what eight years of it was quietly preparing me for.

Also teaching

Since 2025, I've been teaching kids in Toronto — after-school at Sunny Education Centre, coding programs at Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre. Python, Scratch, storytelling, and the kind of thinking that builds builders.

The mission is to make hard things easy and help kids learn through story. Explaining recursion to a nine-year-old is the best prep for explaining an AI architecture to a CEO.
