Now
Hey, I’m Arabic · meaning “pillar” · عماد. The first thing people ask me is where I’m from. So I thought it’s only fitting I open my website with that too, and trust me you wouldn’t guess.
My parents were born and raised in completely different worlds.
- My dad hails from the ancient city of Multan, Pakistan
- My mum hails from the maritime city of Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Through destiny, they both moved to the UK to study and that’s where they met.
I’m a traveller who’s passionate about building delightful pieces of technology, with purpose. Currently figuring out my life path and striving to improve myself.
