Personal Interests

Passionate about traveling and supporting low-resource language development, particularly Somali language preservation and education for diaspora communities.

Through work on Somali children's books and educational platforms, the goal is to preserve and pass on Somali heritage to the next generation, ensuring that diaspora children can learn their language and history.

Mission

The philosophy is straightforward: to make change and create what people can benefit from. Whether building APIs that help fintech companies validate bank accounts, creating platforms that make money transfers easier for immigrants, or writing books that preserve cultural heritage - the work is driven by impact and purpose.
