I’m working with a client building tools for people exploring solopreneurship, freelancing, consulting, and portfolio careers.

We’re looking to talk to people with around five years in a corporate role who are curious about freelancing/consulting/etc, or who have tried it and want to improve how it’s going.

This would be a 45-minute conversation focused on learning, and we’re happy to compensate you for your time.

If you’re open to sharing your experience, please DM me.

✨ Interested in learning how early consumer products are actually shaped?

I’m working on a phone-first product focused on helping people create personal apps/tools for their daily lives. 

We’re in the early research and prototyping phase, and I’m looking for 1–2 college students to help us learn. Think of this as a College Ambassador / Early User Research role.

If you’re a college student (or super recent grad) curious about human behavior, enjoy noticing what people use (and stop using), and like asking thoughtful questions, this could be a great fit.

You’ll help us:
- Recruit college students for early interviews and testing
- Talk with peers about their phone habits and daily tools
- Observe real patterns; not just what people say, but what they do
- Work closely with the founding team to decide what we test next

It’s a part-time, 4-week paid internship, with mentorship and real exposure to early product discovery. 

If this sounds interesting, comment or DM me, or shoot me an email 

Bonus if you are comfortable being online and creating short-form content to document learnings or experiences.

And would be grateful for any intros to students/college campus groups.

My team is #hiring a freelance designer with strong skills in mobile app design and Figma (open to current students or recent graduates): 

- You're very comfortable in Figma
- Background in consumer apps, mobile UX, and early-stage startups
- Must have a portfolio of apps they designed 
- Open to collaborating directly with the founders on product direction 

📍 Remote 
 🕒 Freelance / project-based

If this sounds like you, or if you know someone great, please comment or DM.

Would really appreciate any referrals 🙏 🤍

Is writing and online engagement a distraction from "real work"?

A founder friend recently told me he finds LinkedIn mostly cringeworthy. Another advised me to stay away, convinced that "success is inversely proportional to how much one engages."

It got me thinking about the common sentiment that "real work happens quietly" and that public visibility is distracting or suspicious.

I can see why it looks that way to some. But I've also found that sharing what I'm wrestling with has led to some of the most serendipitous connections and learnings in my career.

I put some of my thoughts down on this. Curious to hear what you think.

(PS - always always grateful to have friends and mentors who think differently)

Making sense of MENA tech and startups 🐢

🚨 Jordanian entrepreneurs Nour Al Hassan of Arabic.AI and Amjad Masad of Replit have joined forces to launch free Arabic-language coding courses, making Replit’s full learning experience available to Arabic-speaking learners across the MENA region.

The initiative marks the first full localisation of Replit’s educational content into Arabic, giving students, engineers, and aspiring developers access to hands-on, production-ready software development courses without language barriers. The courses are offered free of charge through Arabic.AI Academy.

The move targets a long-standing gap in technical education. Arabic is spoken by more than 400 million people globally, yet high-quality programming and software education in Arabic remains limited, even as demand for AI and engineering skills continues to accelerate.
