I’m a consumer internet addict with a passion for building products that solve real problems. I have special interest for content-focused products that help people make better decisions. I’ve a strong obsession for product management, SEO and startups. I rant a lot about them on my Twitter. Sometimes when I can’t rant under 140 characters, I take it to Medium and pour my heart out.

Before running Meddy. I was a confused student at CMU studying Information Systems. While studying there, I interned at Vodafone where I led an Enterprise Cloud Storage Project to help reduce data loss issues faced by lot of employees. Before that, I interned at Microsoft where I evangelized Windows 8 apps to Microsoft’s Qatar clientele.

I’m currently running Meddy - a doctor discovery platform in Qatar aimed at helping people in the region make informed health decisions. I Launched Meddy out of a course project at CMU, recruited 2 other co-founders and went from an idea to a public beta in 6 weeks. I get my hands dirty with everything including Product, SEO, Customer Acquisition, Hiring, Sales, and Fundraising.
