the beginning
I was born and raised in Houston Texas till the age of 10. Growing up with 2 older brothers and our mom. Starting Preschool and finishing Elementary School then suddenly at the end of 5th Grade, completely moving countries from America to Pakistan.
the leap
When I was 10, my mom wanted to take care of her parents who were getting sick. So we moved to their home in Karachi, Pakistan which is one of the most populated cities in the world. I switched from American Schooling system to the British. Even the language Urdu was foreign to me but I had to adapt as this was my new home. I finished my O-levels from the C.A.S School (5th to 11th Grade) and Did 2 years of A-levels at Nixor College (12th to 13th Grade) studying Computer Science, Physics and Maths. I then got accepted into University of Houston for the fall of 2023.
the return
I moved to Houston and lived on campus from Aug 2023 to Feb 2024. I was mainly interested in Computer Science, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Psychology and Entrepreneurship. I would also attend the chess club and meditation Monday meetups on campus. At the end of February of 2024 I had a near death experience which left me hospitalized for 2 months, having to withdraw from my college and move back to Karachi to recover.
the reset
While healing both physically and mentally back in Karachi, I kept myself busy working at a packaging factory (Metatex) in Quality Control, also as a Research Analysis Intern at a stock brokerage firm (K-Trade), As well as a research intern at a mental health clinic (Synapse), I even took a course on Mind Science at NED University and a Digital Textile Design course at Indus Valley School which led to the creation of my clothing brand that I plan to launch in Austin when I move in my new home in August of 2026.
the relocation
I Visited Austin from Feb to April of 2026 living with my brother who studied and now works there to get a feel for the city. I also worked at Third Eye Cacao Meditation lounge for 2 months during my time in Austin. Then from May to end of July I was back in Karachi to prepare for my relocation when I found work in AI Automation, website and dashboard building for a company called ACT Polyols, I worked with them for 2 months as well before finally getting everything packed and moving into my new place August 1st 2026 in Austin Texas and the journey continues.
