Born in Southfield, MI to two perseverant immigrant Pakistanis, my family moved to sunny California in '89 and have called it home ever since. Since we had the opportunity to spend time in Pakistan, I'm very lucky to be able to call Karachi my second home. It's also where I married the love of my life!
Dreams of designing cars and working at NASA took me to San Jose State University, where I graduated with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. Getting to see Silicon Valley disrupt things up-close piqued a curiosity in entrepreneurship and I attempted my first startup with a fraternity bro during senior year at university. It crashed and burned!
Since then though, things have gone better! I've been a part of a few fantastic teams, co-founded an incubator, accelerator, and a VC firm, and continue working with fast-growing teams through www.StartupStudios.co
Other things I love include gaming (PC + PS4), reading Star Wars Legends, and watching the 49ers!
I've tried a lot of different things and gotten my ass kicked more than once.
My roles forced me to wear many hats, but my responsibilities have always involved building products, growing communities, and keeping customers happy!
I've never been afraid of joining companies before they find their legs. These were the opportunities where I got to work side-by-side with some very successful people who allowed me to make the mistakes I needed to learn fast. I was often employee #1-10 and directly supervised by one or more co-Founder, which meant I got to learn from being in the room.
Whoever said your Co-Founder has to be someone you've known for years clearly doesn't know how to work with "new" people. All of mine started off as "partners towards a common goal" but remain some of my closest advisors and confidants today! We love validating our crazy ideas together.

Sometimes companies will hire me for 10-50 hours per week to help them achieve specific goals or fill in some gaps. Most of them are friends who'll hire me to help until they can find someone more "full-time" to run the show for them. I now run most of my advisory work through Startup Studios.
