Edgerunners
Our team

The people accountable for your outcome.

Edgerunners is led by practitioners who have shipped AI and software inside industrial operations, fintech, and public institutions. Every engagement has a named leader who owns it from scoping to rollout.

What we hold ourselves to

  • Execution

    Strategy only counts once it runs in production.

  • Constraints

    We engineer around your requirements, never the other way round.

  • Continuity

    We stay through rollout, adoption, and what comes after.

Leadership

Experience that closes the gap between strategy and delivery.

    Co-founder & CEO

    MJ Hatami

    • AI transformation
    • Industrial operations
    • Public sector

    MJ has led technology transformation across industrial operations, fintech, and public-sector institutions, where change has to work inside real constraints, not around them. Across all of it, the focus has been execution: turning AI from a promising idea into systems that actually run, from AI-assisted governance to AI on the industrial floor.

    Many transformation programs stall somewhere between strategy and delivery. MJ's track record is in closing that gap, with initiatives that were scoped tightly, kept under control, and delivered successfully. That's the standard MJ sets for every engagement we take on.

    Barbod Naj

    • Security architecture
    • Data privacy
    • Compliance

    Every organization has its own security posture, compliance obligations, and requirements, and they rarely fit off-the-shelf standards. Barbod's strength is understanding those constraints precisely and engineering around them, instead of asking the client to lower their bar to fit the tool.

    Take data privacy. When sensitive information must never reach third-party AI APIs, Barbod designs the layer that keeps it in-house. Encoding, isolation, and security controls are part of the architecture from day one, not patched on at the end.

    Vice President of Business Development

    Kim Vtp

    • Engagement design
    • Delivery governance
    • Client success

    Many organizations know their problem but not yet how to scope it, contract for it, or run the iterative build-and-feedback cycle that modern delivery requires. Kim bridges that gap, turning business needs and operational complexity into engagements built to succeed, with the specific accountability each client needs.

    Too often in software, vendors deliver and disappear before anything takes root. Kim makes sure that never happens here: communication stays proactive, testing and rollout are planned ahead, and the whole service cycle stays clear and predictable. Working with us should take worries off your plate, not add new ones.

    CTO of Digital Solutions

    Rez Khashnan

    • B2B & B2C products
    • Enterprise SSO
    • Scalable infrastructure

    Rez brings deep experience across B2B and B2C software, along with a standard that separates great products from merely functional ones: the details no requirements document will ever list. OTP autofill that just works, pixel-perfect responsive layouts, interactions that feel effortless. Users notice these, even when they can't name them.

    On the enterprise side, the same rigor goes into the harder problems: SSO that fits cleanly into an organization's identity stack, and infrastructure chosen to scale from the start. Rez spots these requirements long before they become blockers and makes sure they're built in.

    Chief Product Officer

    Amir Kamal

    • Design Thinking
    • Product feedback loops
    • Growth & KPIs

    Amir engineers products that learn from their own users. Working from Design Thinking and adapting to each context, whether industrial, governmental, or commercial, Amir builds in the mechanisms that let a product collect feedback, respond to it, announce what changed, and test bold ideas through A/B experiments.

    Beyond the core product, Amir designs the digital ecosystem around it: support and ticketing, knowledge capture, release announcements ready for social media, growth and engagement loops, and KPIs that make performance measurable. It's a blend of science and craft, so every feature feels native to the product and never bolted on.

    VP of Software Engineering

    Habib Shaban

    • AI-assisted CI/CD
    • Supply-chain security
    • Engineering standards

    AI has reshaped how software is built, and Habib's focus is making that shift pay off. That means high-leverage AI across the entire CI/CD lifecycle, with costs kept under control and engineering decisions that keep the codebase healthy for years. Multi-language support, scalable foundations, and clean extensibility are designed in from the start, so they never turn into expensive retrofits.

    Habib runs an engineering pipeline that stays alert on its own. Dependency vulnerabilities get flagged the moment they surface, not after they hit the news the way past Java and PHP incidents did. Around that sit enforced code style, meaningful documentation, spec-driven AI development with well-maintained specs, and disciplined backups. Good engineering practice is built into the process, not left to chance.

Bring us the hard problem.

Talk to the people who will actually build and run it, not a sales layer in between.
