Tell us about yourself.

I’m Behkish, a builder at heart with a deep focus on AI, blockchain security, adtech, and product innovation. I recently completed my PhD and have spent the past several years designing automated systems that make complex technology simple, scalable, and trustworthy.

What drives me most is turning ideas into real, usable products that make people’s lives easier. I get a lot of energy from creating things from scratch and watching them grow.

What is your role, and what are you focused on at AdPrompt?

At AdPrompt, I lead our technical architecture, core platform development, and product innovation initiatives. That means designing the systems behind our AI engines, security layers, and the infrastructure that ties everything together.

My focus is on building a platform that feels seamless, smart, and genuinely valuable to businesses as we scale performance and reliability in parallel.

What are you most excited about in joining AdPrompt?

I’m excited about the opportunity to build something meaningful with a team that’s just as driven, creative, and ambitious. The runway here is incredible.

We’re working at the intersection of AI and advertising, a space that’s ready for reinvention, and we have the chance to define a new category from the ground up.

What motivates me most is building a product that not only automates the heavy lifting for businesses but also reimagines how campaigns are created, measured, and verified. Watching the platform come to life piece by piece, and knowing we’re shaping something truly new, is what excites me the most.
