About Me

I began programming with ActionScript 2 in 2002 and upgraded to ActionScript 3 in 2009. After working as a freelancer and an Envato Author for several years, I founded my own company, myflashlabs.com, in 2011. Initially, we focused on developing AIR mobile apps, but in 2013, we shifted our focus to creating ANEs. However, I felt there was more to explore beyond ANEs, so I joined eliq.com in 2019 and decided to close my ANE service company in the summer of 2021.

Check out the web archive of how myflashlabs.com used to look before the business was shut down.

What I Do Now

Prompt Engineering

With years of experience developing complex, large-scale software and a strong DevOps background, I specialize in building effective AI agents and seamlessly integrating them into software architecture.

String art as my hobby

Weekends are my time to unwind and dive into my favorite hobby—creating string art. Encouraged by friends to share my passion with the world, I turned it into an app! Now, you can generate and design your own string art projects using the app on Android or iOS.

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how our Atlassian Forge Applications ("Apps") collect, use, and share information when installed and utilized within Atlassian Cloud products (such as Confluence or Jira). Our apps are published on the Atlassian Marketplace by developer Mohammadhadi Tavakoli Ghinani.

1. Privacy by Design

We believe in a strict "Privacy by Design" philosophy. Our Apps are built on the secure Atlassian Forge Platform. This means the Apps operate entirely within Atlassian's secure cloud infrastructure and execute client-side logic directly in your browser. We do not host external databases, servers, or trackers.

2. Data Collection and Storage

No Personal Data Collection: We do not collect, transmit, store, or have access to any personal data, user credentials, or business information through our Apps.

App Data and Configurations: Any configuration data, user inputs, or diagram codes (e.g., Mermaid diagram inputs created inside our Confluence macros) are stored natively inside your Atlassian host instance (using native Atlassian page storage or native Forge Secure Storage APIs). No data is ever transmitted to us or any third-party servers.

3. Third-Party Services

Our Apps do not integrate with external APIs, analytics, or third-party web services. For example, our Mermaid Confluence App renders diagrams locally in your web browser using client-side libraries. No external network request is made to compile, render, or save your diagrams.

4. Data Security

Because all storage and computation (apart from local browser rendering) are managed directly by Atlassian, your data is protected under Atlassian's enterprise-grade cloud security infrastructure. For more details on Atlassian's compliance and data protection policies, please visit the Atlassian Trust Center.

5. Your Rights

Since we do not collect, store, or process any of your personal data on external servers, we have no personal data to view, export, edit, or delete. If you wish to delete any data associated with our Apps, you can simply delete the specific macro contents or uninstall the App from your Atlassian instance.

6. Contact Us

If you have any questions or inquiries regarding this Privacy Policy or the security of our Forge apps, please contact us at:

Mermaid Studio

Mermaid Studio is a premium, lightweight macro extension for Atlassian Confluence that allows you to design, edit, and render rich flowcharts and mind maps directly inside your pages using plain-text Mermaid syntax.

Key Features

Real-Time Code Editor & Live Preview

Write standard plain-text diagram syntax and watch it render instantly. The interactive editor features line numbering and instant inline error reporting to warn you of any Mermaid syntax issues as you type.

Customizable Line Styles & Quick Templates

Quickly jumpstart diagrams using preconfigured starting templates for Flowcharts and Mind Maps. Tailor connector lines using four custom curve rendering options: Curved (Smooth), Straight (Direct), Rounded (Cardinal), and Orthogonal (Step).

Interactive Infinite Canvas

Easily manage complex charts. Drag to pan and use your mouse wheel or control buttons to zoom in and out smoothly on the diagram without losing rendering quality (lossless vector graphic).

One-Click Copy & SVG Export

Need your diagrams elsewhere? Instantly copy the raw diagram markup code to your clipboard or download/export a high-resolution vector SVG directly to your local computer.

Native Confluence Theme Synchronization

Mermaid Studio is built for Atlassian. It automatically listens for Confluence light/dark theme switches and updates its palette natively to match your workspace background and node colors, preventing bright white glare on dark pages.

Getting Started

Step 1: Insert the Macro

While editing any Confluence Cloud page, type /mermaid-studio or search for the Mermaid Studio macro in the insert menu (+).

Step 2: Compose Your Diagram

In the editor panel that opens, write your Mermaid syntax. Use the dropdown settings to switch starting templates or adjust the connection line styles. Use the visual canvas on the right to navigate the live visual rendering.

Step 3: Save and View

Click the Save Diagram button at the bottom left to close the editor and place the diagram on the Confluence page. Once the page is published, users can hover over the macro to zoom, pan, toggle full screen, copy raw code, or download the SVG.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does my diagram data leave Confluence?
A: Absolutely not. Mermaid Studio is built on the secure Atlassian Forge platform. All diagram compilation, rendering, and macro state data remain 100% local within Confluence native storage. No external network request is ever made.

Q: Is there support for seq diagrams, class diagrams, state diagrams, etc.?
A: Yes! While the template selectors focus on Flowcharts and Mind Maps for quick startup, the editor fully supports compiling any valid Mermaid syntax (Sequence Diagrams, Class Diagrams, State Diagrams, Entity-Relationship Diagrams, Gantt, Pie charts, etc.) typed directly into the editor.
