Building Technology for Human Quests

A quest isn't easy to master, whether it's achieving a handstand, designing your life, turning aspirations into achievements, or exploring fascinating technologies. For 20 years, I've built products that meet people on their quests and help them get there.

How I Build

The principles that guide every quest from idea to reality

Start with Real Problems

Every product begins with a problem I've experienced firsthand or a challenge that genuinely fascinates me.

Build what you need, not what sounds impressive
If it solves your problem, it likely solves others'
Personal pain points drive authentic solutions
Stay connected to the user, because you are one

Embrace Curiosity

Some quests are explorations, testing boundaries of what's possible with emerging technologies.

Not every project needs a business model
Technical experiments teach invaluable lessons
Innovation comes from tinkering and play
Share discoveries, even the failed ones

Ship and Iterate

Products don't need to be perfect. They need to be real and useful. Launch, learn, and evolve.

Done is better than perfect
Users reveal what really matters
Every version teaches something new
Keep the feedback loop tight

Want to discuss product ideas or technical challenges?

I'm always curious to hear what quests others are on. Whether you're building something new, solving an interesting problem, or just want to exchange ideas about product development, I'd love to connect.

The Quests

Each product solves a real problem I've faced or explores technology that fascinates me

Globe Quest

Your AI companion for landing in a new country. Globe Quest gets relocating professionals up to speed fast — survival-language tutoring with an AI conversation coach, culture and local-industry primers, a personalized 4-week integration plan, and step-by-step "Get Legal" guides for residency, driving licenses, banking, and healthcare across 8 cities including Doha, Singapore, Dubai, Berlin, and Lisbon.

Tinkerstage

The community platform for AI Tinkerers chapters, live at tinkerstage.com. Two modes in one app: public scroll/slide decks that bookend meetups (kickoff, ambient lobby loop, auto-generated recap reels), and a gated training portal that turns "can you teach me AI?" DMs into approved, accountable cohorts. Built for organizers running real local builder communities — demos, not decks.

Polytyper

A beautiful multilingual typing hub — virtual keyboards, a typing trainer, phrasebook and translator for 18+ languages and scripts. Type Arabic, Japanese, Russian and more by position, with an interactive language map, romaji/pinyin input, text-to-speech and voice dictation.

System Designer

Interactive platform for engineers to master system design, ML systems, and GenAI architecture. Features AI-powered learning paths, quizzes, highlight and note-taking with AI explanations, conversational deep dives, progress tracking, and whiteboarding to design and break down complex projects.

Inner Quest

Personal growth platform combining personality science, psychology frameworks, and mindfulness practices for self-discovery and emotional wellbeing. Features personality assessments, attachment theory tools, breathwork exercises, and career purpose-finding.

Autobounds

AI-powered field boundary mapping for precision agriculture. Transform weeks of manual field delineation into seconds using satellite imagery analysis and computer vision.

Leela Quest

A digital adaptation of the ancient Game of Leela, guiding your spiritual journey through personalized experiences, interactive gameplay, and deep self-reflection.

Handstand Quest

Let AI build the perfect workout to help you strengthen your core, improve balance, and master handstands, no matter your fitness level.

Plan Quest

Whether you're aiming to achieve personal milestones or elevate your professional journey, Plan Quest offers a comprehensive toolkit for visioning, executing, and reflecting on your goals.

Scribe Quest

Whether personal or professional, turn every interaction into actionable insights. Scribe Quest enables you to transcribe, summarize, and manage your important conversations.

Calendar Color

A free browser extension that enhances your calendar experience with customizable colors.

Breath Quest

Audio-controlled gaming experiment exploring biological computing interfaces. From breath detection to clap control - your microphone becomes the controller for wellness-focused gaming experiences.

Coaching & Community

Beyond building my own products, I help others build with AI — one-on-one, in teams, and through the AI Tinkerers community here in Doha.

AI Coach

From AI-curious to shipping

Two decades building products and leading 40+ engineers — now I coach builders and teams through the same AI-first workflows I use every day. The goal isn't to talk about AI. It's to get you shipping with it.

1:1 coaching for builders learning to ship with AI
Team workshops on AI-first engineering workflows
Cohort “Intro to AI” trainings run on Tinkerstage
From first prompt to production

Work with me

AI Tinkerers Doha

Founder & organizer

I founded and organize the Doha chapter of AI Tinkerers — the global builder community known as “the Homebrew Computer Club for AI.” Monthly demo nights where the rule is simple: working code or nothing.

Inaugural meetup: May 18, 2026 — 50 vetted builders
Part of a 200+ city global network
Demos, not decks — live builds only
An on-ramp from learner to local builder

Join the chapter

Both run on Tinkerstage

The platform I built to power AI Tinkerers chapters worldwide — meetup bookends and cohort trainings under one roof.
