ABOUT

I'm a creative technologist — part entrepreneur, part developer, part maker. I build digital products, run agencies, and ship SaaS tools. Whatever the project, I focus on creating things that actually work.

Currently running Grassroots Creative (digital marketing agency), building LaunchDubai (UAE startup guide), and shipping various products in the AI and automation space.
