About

Welcome to My Digital Corner.

I’m Parviz Foroughian, and this blog is where I explore the realities, possibilities, and contradictions of technology, its impact on society, and where it may be taking us.

Over the years, I’ve worked across sectors; Semiconductors, Investment Banking, Software Development, start-ups, government collaborations, and education. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this:

Real-world impact doesn’t come from flashy tools. It comes from clear thinking, systems that scale, and decisions grounded in both purpose and logic.

🔍 What I Write About:

Here, I examine topics I’ve been immersed in for years, sometimes enthusiastically, sometimes critically:

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Robotics & Physical AI
  • Quantum Computing
  • Semiconductors & Computing Infrastructure
  • Biotechnology
  • Energy & Spac
  • Data Strategy
  • Technology, Ethics & Society
  • …and the occasional Rant!

I also publish the Weekly Technology Brief, where I step back from the daily torrent of technology news and ask a simpler question: What happened this week that meaningfully changed our understanding of where technology is going?

🎯 Why This Blog?

This space isn’t just for frameworks and best practices. It’s also for asking deeper questions:

  • Why do so many data initiatives fail, even with the right tools?
  • Can ethics be designed into intelligent systems from day one?
  • What should real Digital Transformation look like, beyond the buzzwords, of course?
  • How are advances in AI, robotics, quantum computing, biotechnology, semiconductors, energy and other technologies beginning to interact, and what happens when they do?

I share case-based reflections, frameworks that work, and sometimes, things that absolutely don’t.

🤝 Who This Is For?

If you’re a strategic decision-maker, data architect, policy thinker, technologist, or just someone wrestling with where technology is taking us, then this blog is for you.

No hype. No pretense. Just thoughtful writing, grounded in experience and intellectual curiosity.

I’m also the author of Data Unplugged, a no-hype guide to strategy, systems, and sanity in a world obsessed with data.

Follow me on LinkedIn for updates, frameworks, and (occasionally brutal) honesty about the future of tech and society.

Thanks for being here. Let’s try to make sense of where all this is going 🙂.
