I'm a marketer founder operator engineer all of the above.
I'm building AI agents to automate myself out of a job.
It's going disturbingly well.
Founded and sold two companies. Led teams of 50. 23 years in.
It started with a kid in Karachi in 2003. While classmates traded cricket cards, I traded HTML tags. Microsoft FrontPage was my playground, and every weekend was a new chance to build something worth showing off on Monday morning. That first dollar from Google AdSense wasn't just currency. It was permission.
I have ADHD. It explains the crossed-out job titles, the 5:43am builds, and most of this page. Along the way I built companies and sold them, ran marketing and operations inside other people's, and was blowing up servers in my homelab long before AI was cocktail party conversation. These days I lead a technology team and still write the code.

wrote it down before I forgot
- How one person merges 551 pull requests in a week I don't write most of my code now. Agents do. I write the rules.
- Just close the loop. I'm building a mini ATS so I couldn't ghost people I'm building a mini ATS this weekend because I got tired of being ghosted as a candidate and refused to do it to other people. One-click reject. Candidate portal. AI scoring. A council of AIs to build it. Just close the loop.
- Beliefs Leave Receipts There's a loop most people never see. Not because it's hidden. Because it looks exactly like personality. What we believe creates our thoughts, thoughts create actions, and actions create evidence. To create new evidence, you must change your actions. A brutal short look at the self-fulfilling loop that ate a decade.
- You aren't listening. You're reloading. You aren't listening. You're reloading. Why disagreement feels like intelligence, understanding feels like surrender, and how we do it to ourselves most of all.
- The company didn't hire another night rep. We built one. Building a demo voice agent takes 30 minutes. Building something that survives real callers, bad audio, and real money takes thousands of hours. Nobody selling courses on Twitter is telling you that.
