Career path

A path shaped by deliberate turns.

My career was not a straight climb through job titles. Each chapter added a new lens—design, business, analysis, and technology—until they converged in product.

2016—2020

Learning to see

Urban EngineeringIran University of ArtTop 3

Urban engineering and design taught me to look at people, systems, movement, and space together. It also gave me the visual foundation I still bring to product decisions.

2020—2021

Choosing a hard goal

MBA Entrance Rank 43Sharif UniversityPersistence

Through COVID and three exam postponements, I stayed focused on one defined target: entering Sharif's MBA program. Reaching it proved to me that disciplined effort can change the direction of a life.

2021—2022

Exploring business from different angles

MarketingMentoringStock AnalysisBusiness Development

At Cafe Tadris, Agah Group, and PartUp, I explored education, marketing, finance, and organizational development. The variety taught me what energized me—and that I needed creativity alongside analysis.

2022

Seeing business from the CEO's side

Working beside the CEO of Sana Gostar Sabz exposed me to decisions at holding-company level, from Achareh's IPO preparation and Turkey market research to transactions and strategic initiatives.

2022—NOW

Finding product

APM → Product ManagerB2B SaaSAchareh Sazeh

I joined Achareh Sazeh as an APM and became its Product Manager five months later. Product became the field where my design background, business orientation, and technical curiosity finally made sense together.

Where it converges

Building Achareh Sazeh.

A B2B maintenance and operations platform where business strategy, user experience, and technology meet in one real system.

Selected product story / 01

Ideas I learn by building.

Small interactive projects where product thinking meets curiosity, motion, focus, and personal taste. Each one is a different way to experiment—and to make something simply because it is worth exploring.

Outside work

Exploring life with energy and curiosity.

Beyond product work, I am an adrenaline enthusiast and a life explorer. I love the intensity of skiing, the calm of open water and beaches, time with friends, and travelling far enough to see everyday life differently.

I still have skydiving on the list.

Portrait of Arya Khojasteh
“I am at my best when a business problem needs both structure and imagination.”
Behind the résumé

Business first. Curious about the whole machine.

I am a business-oriented product manager. I naturally begin with value: why a problem matters, who benefits from solving it, and whether the result can become a sustainable business. Design helps me shape the experience; technology helps me understand what is possible.

That combination started earlier than my formal career. At sixteen, photography became the first skill I turned into income. It taught me to work with clients, translate an unclear need into a visible outcome, and take responsibility for the result.

Outside work, I use this site as a personal lab—for games, writing, music, and whatever I’m curious enough to build next.
