Hi, I’m Mili.
Lead Mobile Engineer
Milad Karimi — ten years of building apps, AI products, streaming, fintech and ad platforms. I lead teams, founded a studio, and still write the tricky parts myself. This is my toy box.

Innovating in the night, shining in the light.
In 2022 I founded Batriders, a remote-first product and AI studio. We’ve shipped 15+ products for clients in fintech, B2B and e-commerce — and we build our own.
TwoSprint
An AI platform that turns raw ideas into plans, flows and tasks.
AdQuest
Rewarded quests that drive real user actions in apps.
Influ8
Influencer campaigns, from onboarding to payouts.
Shoplon
Social commerce with AI-powered image search.

The toy box
One person, a lot of toys.
Every one is something I’ve built for real. Pick one up to hear its story.
Kotlin and Swift apps from my freelance days, Flutter and React Native today. At TouchZen I lead mobile architecture for GetCover and InstaStylin — Clean Architecture, modular monorepos and a 99%+ crash-free rate.

I founded and built TwoSprint alone: it turns raw ideas into business plans, product flows and implementation tasks, with LLM orchestration, RAG, evaluation gates and observability underneath.
LLMs · RAG · PostgreSQL · Qdrant · Neo4j · Langfuse
Face ID and fingerprint sign-in for a fintech app with more than five million users, NFC payments over HCE with AES-encrypted transfers, and WebView bridges that stay secure.

Head of Engineering at AdAd, Iran’s largest in-app ad network (millions of impressions a day). Then Lookus’ answer-to-unlock rewards, and now AdQuest — quests, prizes, SDKs and a credit ledger.

As CTO I led a streaming platform with 80,000+ episodes on web, mobile and smart TVs: HLS video on demand, offline downloads, CDN strategy and adaptive streaming for thousands of viewers at once.

Ad servers built for high-throughput bidding, APIs and integrations at TouchZen, multi-tenant AI workflows, event-driven delivery and ledgers that add up.

Release pipelines are my favourite kind of plumbing. I cut release cycles by 35% at Batriders, and built Mili Ship: push a tag and your app ships to Google Play and TestFlight from your own Mac.
GitHub Actions · GitLab CI · Shorebird · App Store Connect
MiliControl arranges your Mac’s desktops in rows with native slides, a calm dashboard and a living notch. Written in Swift, signed, notarized and open source.

Startup CTO & tech lead, head of engineering. I’ve mentored 10+ engineers and designers, written the architecture guidelines and run the code reviews — and I still write the tricky parts myself.

As CTO of Mobo Saraf I built a trusted marketplace for second-hand phone auctions — verified listings, bidding and fraud checks. Before that, Snapp! Express’ Android app for millions of users.
