Companies and products I built.

Timeline

From a Class 6 Pentium 2 to an AI ambition.

Binary and DOS under Sir Sabir. Products across the years. TechAbout. Foundation. Presidential awards. Teams that finally run. An ecosystem for 1,000 entrepreneurs.

   A Pentium 2 — and everything changes

   By the Grace of Allah, my father bought me a Pentium 2 while I was in Class 6. Under the leadership of Sir Sabir I learned binary, DOS and the craft of computers. That machine became my classroom for websites, products and blogs.
