Jack of all trades. Master of one.

I used to believe I had just one calling — some singular purpose I needed to find and lock myself into forever. I struggled with that belief, because my passions refused to stay in one lane. Poetry and mathematics. Community work and trading. Teaching teenagers and training executives. Writing and building businesses.

I’ve stopped trying to fit the mould.

What I’ve come to understand is that the common thread running through every chapter of my life — teacher, trader, poet, Apple Trainer, author, entrepreneur — is people. Specifically, the moment something shifts for someone. That look when confusion becomes clarity. When stagnation becomes motion. That’s what I’m here for.

What I’m building:

🍎 SHYFT Edu — Apple training for small business owners. I spent 8 years at Apple, 4 as a trainer. Now I work without limitations — helping business owners actually master their devices. Free tips on YouTube (@SHYFTedu) or book a private session worldwide. → bit.ly/4ujqNbZ

📚 KMB Press — Co-founder of a Muslim children’s publishing house, creating vibrant Islamic picture books for young readers. Stories that weave Islamic teachings into rhyme, colour and childhood wonder — because Muslim kids deserve to see themselves in the books they love. → kmbpress.com

👕 SHYFT Creations — Urban Muslim fashion where streetwear meets meaning. Every design carries a message. → shyftcreations.com

“Writing continues to remain the passion underlying everything — like water, forever quenching the thirst of my eclectic spirit.”
