About
I'm Ali Nezamolmaleki — founder, software engineer, and organic growth leader based in Berlin with over 14 years of experience scaling search-driven acquisition across global markets.
I'm the founder of ViralDeck, a SaaS platform for brands to track UGC creator campaigns across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. Previously I co-founded Faircado, an AI-powered sustainable shopping assistant backed by Accel, Lightspeed, General Catalyst, NEA, and Northzone. Faircado was named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies 2025 and won the Slush 100 competition.
What I Do
I sit at the intersection of engineering and growth. My background spans full-stack development (TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python) and organic growth strategy (SEO, GEO, content, technical audits). I believe the best growth is built into the product.
I also run RankGuides, a growth consulting agency focused on SEO, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and Google Ads. I work directly with clients — no account managers, no fluff.
