Mani Maleki

Violinist. Developer. Economist. A quiet passion for elegant solutions in art and life.

I saw happiness as something I could 'win' by adding more and more points to some imaginary scoreboard of success, wealth, fame, and accomplishment. But how can you 'win' a game when the only end to the game is when the player (you) dies? Happiness – fulfillment – is an infinite game.
— Steven Bartlett, Happy Sexy Millionaire

Who am I

I am a student of Business Informatics at TU Dresden, blending a deep passion for technology and economics with my love for music. Originally from Tehran, Iran, I now live and work in Dresden, Germany, where I pursue my diverse interests with a deliberate focus on elegance and precision.

My professional journey is a synthesis of logic and artistry—building efficient systems and crafting meaningful music. I'm available for collaborations, select performances, and teaching engagements that resonate with this philosophy.

Global Trade & Logistics

Import & Export with 90+ Countries

I facilitate import and export between Germany and partners across more than ninety countries — in both directions. From one-off shipments to established lanes, I coordinate reliable, compliant movements that connect makers and markets.

Any Scale, Any Mode

Prototype to pallet, suitcase to full container: the mass is not the point. Air, sea, road, or rail — we select the route that balances time, cost, and care, then manage it end-to-end.

Precision & Compliance

Documentation, customs, Incoterms, and insurance handled with elegance and precision. Clear communication, predictable timelines, and a single point of contact throughout.

Music & Instruction

Violinist

My musical focus spans Oriental, Classical, and Fusion styles. For the past four years, I have been deeply involved in orchestral performance, recording, and ensemble work. I am an active member of the Kian Band since 2022 and have contributed to the MUSAIK orchestra since 2020.

Private Instruction

I offer tailored violin lessons for students of all ages (8–88), with instruction available in English and German. The curriculum is built on a strong classical foundation, with the option to explore Oriental nuances and modern repertoire. My goal is to build a practice that is both technically sound and deeply expressive.
