About Me

I sit at a weird intersection. Former Microsoft MVP, technology evangelist by instinct, builder by habit. Based in Doha, I build digital platforms for government entities, ship products for this market, and run performance marketing for enterprise brands on the side.

It started in a seminar I got dragged into while in college. Walked out wanting to become a Microsoft Student Partner. That one path led to earning the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional award just two years after college, speaking at 100+ campuses and conferences across India before I turned 25, and a career I never planned. That chapter taught me how to read a room, break down complex ideas, and something no certification teaches: how to make complex things make sense to real people.

That skill followed me to Doha. I joined a training center to turn training into a profession. Didn't know I'd need to bring people to the room too, and that's how I first got into marketing. A year later, COVID hit. Education took the first blow, and I watched an entire market shift to digital overnight.

That shift led me to Be Creative and Innovation Café. For the past six years, I've been deep in Doha's agency world. Running performance marketing for brands like Al Meera, Widam, Aamal QPSC, and Aston Martin Qatar, among others. Managed media budgets in the millions, shipping web and app projects for government entities, and learning how business actually works in the Gulf. The GCC taught me things no course covers: how decisions really get made, how trust is built, and how technology needs to bend to culture, not the other way around.

Now I build products on the side too. Platforms born from real problems I've seen up close in this market, not ideas thought up in a vacuum.

Part marketer. Part builder. Still the guy who'll get on stage and make complex things make sense.
