In parallel, at Max Holding, he served as a Blockchain Strategy & Data Analyst, advising startups and venture-focused businesses on Web3 and blockchain strategy. Mahdiyar combines an MBA in Business and Managerial Economics from the University of Tehran with a background in Biomedical Engineering. His work has included investment strategy, product leadership, quality assurance, NFT adoption, crypto payment gateways, and real estate tokenization. As Product Delivery & QA Lead at Xiroco, he managed projects from planning to launch and oversaw both manual and automated quality assurance. At Khooneh Metri, he led a tokenized home-buying product from idea to public showcase at the Tehran International Exhibition in 2024.
