I'm Shayan Afrand, founder of Vela AI. I'm a software engineer who has spent over a decade in the field — leading IT projects, managing technical teams, and building the networks, security systems, and infrastructure that real businesses run on.

That hands-on background is exactly why Vela AI is different. I don't sell AI hype. I build practical systems that solve concrete problems: answering every call, booking appointments, and automating the busywork that drains a clinic's front desk.

I started Vela AI in Canada to give clinics and small businesses the kind of AI that actually pays for itself — clear strategy, real automation, and tools that just work. If it doesn't move the needle, I don't ship it.
