About Me

I’m an engineering student @ The University of Hong Kong (on-leave) / aspiring entrepreneur in building artificially intelligent systems, building softwares with deep interest in geopolitical chess play of modern era.

I can take you into trenches of history, geopolitical power play of South East Asia, future of technology, AI singularity, and topics spanning from nation building to startups.

It should not come as surprise that the tech company I’m building is called Govern X (https://governcorp.com), where we’re building an operating system to run operations of states, corps, and hospitals.

Sometimes work can take the best of me, so I’m also training to become a fighter in boxing and throwing open as many opportunities to meet new and interesting people to learn about cultures and their experiences. I read a lot, travel, and execute on contrarian ideas. I love nature and mountain biking in the hills of Hong Kong which is my way of decompression.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people, get to know local cultures and understand countries better in the new locations I’m travelling in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Escaped the crutches of small town, small home in Pakistan to Hong Kong on full scholarship while building three tech empires. Two have faced a mighty fall, but daring doesn’t end there. I have my fourth enigma in making. Watch out 🐝! My bees don’t stop making honey.
