About

Building, not waiting

I'm a 20 year old Kuwaiti entrepreneur building two ventures full time.

Before this, I held a VP role at my family's international real estate business, with operations across Kuwait, Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey. I stepped away to build something of my own.

I think in patterns, move fast, and treat urgency as a strategy, not a symptom of anxiety.

Background

Where this started

International real estate across Kuwait, Bulgaria, Greece, and Turkey, where I earned a VP role through results before stepping down to build full time.

A personal stock portfolio, exposure to private equity, and a long view on real estate as a foundation for everything else.
