Hi, I’m Farid Fadaie, cofounder and CEO of Viva AI. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and build products at the intersection of AI, dental operations, and healthcare.

Before Viva AI, I helped build privacy and peer-to-peer products at BitTorrent, led engineering and product teams at scale, and founded or helped grow companies in dental technology, including 2Dental and Soothing Dental.

This site is where I write about AI, dentistry, product, engineering, privacy, and the practical lessons that come from building software for real operations.
