My story

How it happened.

I started working at 16, in 2009, as a graphic designer. Drawing was my first language as a kid, and I turned it into a career: logos first, then complete brand identities. A year later I began selling online myself.

In 2014 I moved to Dubai and designed for brands like Microsoft and Beats by Dre. In 2016 I came back to Pakistan and took my business global on Amazon, eBay and Etsy. Along the way I earned more than $20,000 in Amazon Merch royalties, and my SEO work grew one client's traffic by 1,000% in three months.

In 2022 I started teaching. Through EasyCommerce, which I co-founded with Hassan Virani, I have trained more than 6,000 students. In 2024 I launched my AI automation agency. Today I run The WhatBot, a WhatsApp automation platform, and have helped 800+ clients automate their chats and grow their businesses.

Now I teach people to build software with AI in my course, Learn coding using AI, the first of its kind in Pakistan.

My education is in media. I have zero coding experience, and I build software with AI every day.
