Pivoting Self With World
Bootstrapped startup founder with experience leading teams building easy-to-use software blending user experience design, language models, and philosophy.
As the founder of Just Ads, I led a team of engineers and account managers that built a user-friendly performance marketing SaaS product designed based on first principles of human-computer interaction.
As the co-founder of Pencil News, I led development of a top-ranked Urdu news application that gave users a language-optimized user experience through localized design and integration of features powered by language models.
Besides business, I’m writing a book that merges technology, politics, history, and philosophy (Kissinger) to tell the global story of humanity (Harari) required to strategically navigate the age of artificial intelligence.
