ShahrAgah: a social network for businesses

A social network connecting local businesses and their customers. It started as a business plan that was named the "best promising project" at the IUT Entrepreneurship Festival, and I then founded a startup to build it.

The idea

ShahrAgah was a social network that connected businesses and customers. Customers could find a large number of local businesses online and share their thoughts about their shopping experiences.

From business plan to startup

The project started as a business plan. It was first submitted to the IUT Entrepreneurship Festival, where it was awarded "best promising project". I then founded a startup, ShahrAgah, to build it, and led the team. I also worked as the software analyst and implemented the project.

A research paper on placing replicated tenants onto as few cloud servers as possible while staying safe when a server fails. Tenants arrive one at a time and can't be moved later, so this is an online bin packing problem with fault tolerance built in.
