About Me

ABOUT ME

I was born under the sign of Virgo—disciplined, analytical, and quietly ambitious. Maybe that celestial precision was destiny’s way of preparing me for a life that would defy every expectation. I started my journey as a civil engineer, trained to build order out of chaos, to turn lines on paper into structures that could weather storms.

But my ambitions stretched beyond construction. I ventured into entrepreneurship, bringing an international Finnish coffee chain to Pakistan. It was bold, risky, and exhilarating—a venture that taught me what it means to create something from sheer will.

Before the challenges ahead, I spent eight transformative years in Oman. Life there was steady, introspective, and grounding—the calm before the storm, though I didn’t know it then. That peace made what came next even more jarring: a chapter of my life spent in prison. It was a place where time feels heavier, where the world goes silent, and where you confront every version of yourself—past, present, and the one you hope to become.

But I walked out not as a defeated man, but as a reconstructed one. Stronger. Sharper. More intentional.

Two years ago, I found myself in the UAE—a land of speed, ambition, and reinvention. It became the perfect stage for my next chapter, where I could rebuild, reimagine, and rise on my own terms.

My story is one of discipline and disruption, ascent and downfall, loss and reclamation. But above all, it’s a story still being written—one defined not by the challenges I faced, but by the strength I found in surviving them.
