Raman Buick Khorrami

Business leader, Engineer, Startup, Student, Technologist

I am a Mechanical Engineering student, entrepreneur, and product builder passionate about transforming traditional industries through artificial intelligence. My work combines engineering, business strategy, and software development to create practical solutions that improve how organizations operate and make decisions. Over the past several years, I have worked across the elevator industry, contributing to business development, digital transformation, pricing systems, and operational improvement while participating in more than one hundred industrial projects. I also founded ElevateOS, an AI-powered ERP platform designed to modernize elevator companies by integrating intelligent decision-making into their daily operations. Beyond technology, I believe leadership is about creating lasting systems rather than temporary achievements. This belief has shaped my experiences as Executive Organizer of TEDxAmirkabir, Secretary of the Mechanical Engineering Student Council, researcher, and startup co-founder. I enjoy exploring the intersection of technology, management, and human behavior, and I am particularly interested in how intelligent systems can help people solve complex real-world problems.

I am passionate about building systems that create lasting impact. My interests span artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, product design, organizational strategy, systems thinking, behavioral economics, and digital transformation. I enjoy understanding how complex organizations work and finding ways to redesign them into more intelligent, efficient, and resilient systems. Outside of work, I love reading about history, philosophy, economics, psychology, and technology. I believe that some of the best ideas emerge when different disciplines intersect. I am also passionate about building communities, mentoring students, organizing events, and creating opportunities that continue benefiting others long after a project is finished.

Artificial intelligence should not replace human decision-makers—it should amplify them. Many traditional industries still rely on fragmented information, repetitive manual processes, and intuition-driven decisions. While AI has made remarkable progress, its greatest impact will not come from replacing people but from empowering experts with better knowledge, faster insights, and smarter tools. I believe every industry, regardless of how traditional it may seem, deserves intelligent systems that reduce complexity, improve collaboration, and allow people to focus on creativity, innovation, and meaningful work. Technology creates value only when it becomes accessible, understandable, and centered around human needs.

TED has always represented something greater than a conference to me—it represents the belief that ideas can shape the future. That belief motivated me to become the Executive Organizer of TEDxAmirkabir, where I led the operational planning and execution of the event, coordinated a multidisciplinary team, managed complex logistics and financial operations, and worked alongside passionate individuals committed to creating meaningful experiences. The experience taught me that remarkable events are never built by individuals alone. They are built by trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to an idea larger than ourselves. Today, that lesson continues to influence everything I build—from startups to technology products—and reminds me that every meaningful innovation begins with an idea worth sharing.

Most people know me through engineering, entrepreneurship, or technology, but what they usually do not see is how much I enjoy designing systems. Whether it is organizing a large event, improving a business process, building a software platform, or creating a long-term strategy, I naturally think in systems rather than isolated tasks. I enjoy connecting ideas, identifying patterns, simplifying complexity, and transforming abstract concepts into practical solutions. I also genuinely enjoy learning new disciplines outside my formal background. Many of my projects began simply because I became curious about a problem and wanted to understand it deeply enough to build a better solution.
