About
At heart, I'm a tinker-er, wonder-er, and foster-er, excited by anything that benefits the greater good. What follows is the longer version of that: what I value, what I do, and what piques my interest.
What I Value
Integrity first
Say what you mean, do what you say, even if no one is around.
Lift as you climb
What you've been given isn't yours to keep. Bring someone up with you.
Grow the pie
The best outcomes aren't zero-sum. Find ways to create more, so everyone wins.
Build for people
Start with real human needs, not technology looking for a problem to solve.
Leave it better
Wherever you spend time, leave it in better shape than you found it.
Khalifa (Stewardship)
What's in our hands is borrowed. One day we'll be asked what we did with it.
What I Do
Work
Islamic Finance
Both student and practitioner. I study the principles of faith-based finance and work with people and businesses on riba-free transactions.
Advising
Helping people and teams figure out their market, sharpen their positioning, and close the distance between what users need and what gets shipped.
0 to 1
The upfront work of getting something off the ground. Early prototypes, roadmaps, and the scaffolding a team needs before it can scale.
