Résumé · Ramine Darabiha

Founder, CEO, Page.app

2025 - early 2026 · San Francisco

Prototyped an AI store manager that turned seller intent and content into transaction-ready businesses: catalog, publishing, checkout, shipping, and seller workflows assembled and operated as one system, before agents were a standard product category.

The thesis: treat AI as the operational layer of a business, not a website-generation feature, anticipating the shift from generative site tools to agents that assemble and operate commercial systems.
