Saman Rashidiv4.4
Toronto, Canada

I’m a passionate developer, gamer, and creator who loves creating unique products and explore new ideas. My journey into development was unexpected, I studied Biology at university, but in my final year, I discovered computer science and never looked back. I became a self-taught developer, building projects, contributing to open-source, and continuously expanding my skills.

Gaming has always been a core part of my life. From the days of Commodore 64 and Atari to high-end PCs, I’ve been deeply immersed in the gaming world. I was Iran’s first representative at the FIFA 2003 tournament in the World Cyber Games, The first-ever esports event held in South Korea. Later, I led the Iranian national Counter-Strike 1.6 team.

My passion for gaming eventually led me to game development, where I co-created Shelldom and launched it on Steam on February 25, 2025, with my friend Sooshyan Radaz.
