Pouria is the kind of teammate who makes work feel lighter and more fun. Give him the messiest problem, and he’ll break it down into small, manageable bits, then explain it so well that you’re left wondering why it ever seemed hard. He catches details the rest of us miss, asks the questions that actually get things moving, and can chat with literally anyone. You can always count on him, and honestly, he’s just one of those people you’re glad is on your side.
