Nine years in Mississauga. Then Dubai — no friends, no labels, no safety net. What I found was my capacity to rebuild from nothing.

I don't wait to be taught

The IB is the structured branch: Mathematics AA, Physics and Business Management at Higher Level; Chemistry, English and French alongside. The self-directed branch is where the real points get spent.

[HL×3]Math AA · Physics · Business Management — Honor Roll, scholarship, Excellence in Mathematics & Islamic Studies
[READ]Rich Dad Poor Dad · Atomic Habits · Sapiens · The Art of War · Ikigai · The Clear Quran
[BUILT]A 22-page analysis of The 48 Laws of Power — each law dissected, stress-tested, applied

Anchored in what doesn't move

My identity is not built on outcomes. Grades rise and fall, ratings swing, plans get redrawn — if those were the foundation, every setback would be an identity crisis. Mine is anchored in Allah. That doesn't move.

So a loss is information, not a verdict. A win is provision, not proof. Faith gives me what no system of habits can — a reason the discipline holds on the days motivation doesn't.

Main quest
Engineering at U of T, Waterloo, McGill or UBC — 2027. Master the craft from inside the industry. Build capital and network. Then the final checkpoint: ownership — my own company, built on my own terms. Entrepreneur is the end state; everything before it is preparation.
// Multiplayer
The game is long.

Trilingual. Mississauga-raised, Dubai-based. Building capacity across mind, body, spirit and craft — before building anything else.

// Character sheet

Not one achievement. The combination.

A chess player who thinks in systems. An athlete who understands discipline through football and the gym. A reader of philosophy and epistemology who genuinely wrestles with how knowledge works. And someone whose faith gives him a level of purpose that doesn't waver under pressure. Strategic, physical, intellectual, spiritual — the combination is the point.
