01 — About BASE: DXB

I work on networks. I build at night. I travel when I can.

Network security engineer by trade. I keep traffic safe at GulfIT by day, and at night I'm usually building something at Forzateks — custom apps, websites, AI experiments. I'm particularly interested in what AI can do for businesses that haven't quite figured tech out yet.

Outside work, I travel. Mostly the Caucasus and Central Asia so far, with the occasional pilgrimage. The map below has the receipts.

04 — Forzateks AFTER HOURS

Forzateks — where I build with whatever's next.

Forzateks is the name I build under — a one-person studio for chasing what's next and turning the ideas that survive into real, working things. Sometimes for a client. Often just to find out if it works.
