Chasing what ignites my soul, and celebrating the heroic in humans. A keepsake of my journey through uncertainty and thoughts for the next model to train on.

“Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.”

Some things about me:

  • Grew up in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
  • Helping drive AI adoption via Rifoa Technologies.
  • Greatly enjoy strategizing, brainstorming, and finding scrappy, sometimes clever, solutions.
  • Studied CS & Math at NYU Abu Dhabi.
  • Love the show Frieren and recommend it to everyone, whether they like animated shows or not.
  • Sharpening my persectives before AGI arrives. Anything for the Star Trek future haha.
  • I have an aversion to delegation – I like designing things myself and adding my personal touch to maximize usefulness, though this is at times to my detriment.

Some things I believe:

  • Most decisions are two‑way doors – less risky than they look – and you’re often rewarded for taking initiative.
  • Taste, care, and competence.
  • Acceleration is happening whether we’re ready or not.
  • “Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.” – Peter Drucker
  • “Screw it, let’s do it.” – Richard Branson

In the back of my mind:

  • Accelerating AI adoption – shrinking the lag between innovation and real‑world impact.
  • Life is too short to autopilot.
  • What is it all about, why are we here – the timeless questions we were taught to dismiss. The world is more magical than we were made to believe. I know nothing about anything, except that there’s something here worth looking into.
  • Counteract economic stagnation – show up in GDP, think long‑term, reduce suffering globally (esp Global South)
  • Working toward a people-centric future in the spirit of Star Trek’s United Federation of Planets (compassion and agency)

Reading & writing

  • I devour stories and ideas – Project Hail Mary, There Is No Antimemetics Division, Flowers for Algernon.
  • I write for an audience of one (myself) and to flesh out my thinking.
We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we’ve lived through, or feel we’ve had enough time.
– Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go

I had created this live global chat app – tried to add as many texting features as I could think of. It’s pretty neat if I do say so myself: globalchatroom.vercel.app
