If you were expecting a page about a company with a large team behind it, sorry to disappoint, this is a one-man band.

It’s just me, Pedram, my laptop, some spare time, and a slightly unhealthy amount of coffee.

No investors. No recruitment agency. No corporate team pretending to “revolutionise hiring.”

Just someone who got frustrated enough with the problem to try building a solution.

If you looked at my background, it would probably seem slightly all over the place: from mechanical engineering to mountaineering, and more recently fintech. I took the phrase “jack of all trades” a little too seriously.

But the common thread has always been the same: I enjoy solving difficult problems and building solutions that remove friction.

I’ve always been fascinated by complex systems, whether that’s quantitative research, trading infrastructure, or automation tools built in Python. I genuinely believe that once a problem is clearly identified, there’s usually a better way to solve it.

For example, during my mountaineering days, I struggled to find a place to rent proper outdoor gear. So instead of accepting it, I built an online outdoor equipment rental platform called Yooz Outdoors.

That mindset eventually led to Brighton PartTimer.

Back when I was a student in Brighton looking for part-time work, the process felt unnecessarily painful. The jobs existed, but actually finding relevant local opportunities was chaotic.

Most job sites were bloated with endless forms, irrelevant listings, account creation walls, and application processes that somehow demanded hours of effort for jobs paying barely above minimum wage. I even remember walking around Brighton, going door to door with printed CVs, hoping to be in the right place at the right time!

There was no simple place focused purely on local part-time work.

That problem stayed in the back of my mind for months.

Eventually, I decided to stop waiting for someone else to fix it and build the thing myself.

So here it is:

Brighton PartTimer

Built from concept to launch in under 2 weeks, driven by the belief that some ideas are better tested in the real world than endlessly analysed in your head.
