I'm Saeid Manhooei, a principal engineer. I host The Manhooei Method, wrote The Last Human Software Engineer, build privacy-first apps, and take on a few consulting projects through Manhooei Solutions Lab.

We pick the use cases worth doing and design how agents connect to your systems safely.
I help design and build it so the data stays on the device, the way the lab's own apps work.
We find what you hold, why you hold it and who can reach it, then make the rules stick.
I've spent my career inside large engineering organizations, designing the systems that sit under products people use every day. Manhooei Solutions Lab is where everything I make outside that work lives.
