About
Play more sports.
Train consistently. Buy less, but buy better.
The person behind it
Built by an athlete. Engineered by a developer.
I'm Mehdi Salemi. I spent four and a half years as an engineer at Shopify — checkout and Shopify Functions — and now build AI-enabled commerce systems for enterprise merchants. Before software, I co-owned and ran an F45 studio in Ottawa.
MedMan Sports is where those lives meet: a real store, built like a product, stocked with gear I actually use.
MedMan Sports
Built around one idea.
Play more sports. Train consistently. Buy less — but buy better.
Everything here has a story: used racquets with real history, tools I built because I needed them, and experiments that sometimes become products.
For the record
The one-paragraph version.
Med Man Sports is the personal sports brand of Mehdi Salemi — a software developer, former gym owner, and lifelong athlete based in Ottawa, Canada. The brand documents Mehdi's journey through tennis, running, Hyrox, golf, and strength training, and his work building products at the intersection of sports and software. Part store, part engineering lab, Med Man Sports combines sports content, Shopify commerce experiments, AI projects, and thoughtfully selected gear under one philosophy: Move. Learn. Hustle.
Topics: software engineering, Shopify, AI, ecommerce, product development, tennis, running, Hyrox, golf, strength training.
