hi, I’mAdnaan

A curious work in progress.

I build with AI, think in products,
and follow the occasional rabbit hole.

(02 — A BIT ABOUT ME)

Usually building.
Always curious.

I work at the intersection of AI and product. I like tech, startups, and getting an idea out of my head and into someone’s hands.

I also talk about what I’m figuring out. Sometimes on a stage. Usually on the internet.

Let’s talk speaking ↗yes, I talk with my hands.

A few thoughts,

A few things I stand by

A little conviction.
A lot of curiosity.

Drag the notes. Turn them over.

Strong opinions. Always open to a better idea.

THINGS I CAN ALWAYS TALK ABOUT
01Manchester United+

Yes, still United.

02Lewis Hamilton+

Race weekends belong to Formula 1. I’m rooting for Lewis.

03Something on the stove+

Biryani or butter chicken. Cooking is another way I like to make things.

04Coffee, then Coke Zero+

Coffee is a good start. Coke Zero is the other constant. Not Diet Coke.

05The Office & Game of Thrones+

Some days, Scranton. Other days, Westeros. I have range.

06Movies & filmmaking+

I’m a bit of a nerd about movies and how they’re made. The story, the shot, the edit — all of it.

No particular productivity goal

Stay for
a little longer.

A growing bookshelf.
A little football.

Yes, I’m basic like that.

ONE MORE PERSONAL TOUCH

Very literally,
my own type.

I turned my handwriting into a font.
Now this corner of the internet feels a little more like me.

Good things start with a hello.

Have something
in mind?

A role, a project, a shawarma recommendation.
Good conversations count too.
