I got my first PC after 10th grade and was instantly fascinated by how computers worked and what they made possible. After experimenting with graphics, I tried HTML and quickly got hooked on coding.
I spent countless nights learning PHP (it was popular once!), JavaScript, MySQL, and WordPress, and also explored programming IoT devices like Arduinos. Over time, I built several side projects, some of which are still running today. I contributed actively to open-source, and at one point, one of my projects became the second most-starred open-source project of Pakistani origin.
I later launched a startup focused on LLMs shortly after GPT-3 was released; although it eventually shut down, it was a valuable learning experience.
Inspired by Apple’s design philosophy, I try to bring the same attention to detail and user experience into everything I work on. I’m continuously learning, especially in the areas of startups, product, and design. I’ve been fortunate to discover my passion early on, and even more grateful that it aligns with my career. Sometimes, I can’t believe that I get paid to do what I love!
