I have quite an story to tell, multiple time migrant, failures and success, I am usually not open to discuss but this 100 Github stars made me realize you cant get something unless you ask for, so here simple snippet of current milestone. I come from a small, poor village in Sindh, and I was probably the first person from it to go to university. I started in the insurance sector, then moved to Dubai and became an award-winning seller. After that came nine years in the startup world: one success, two grand failures, and four migrations and ended Up at Station F Paris (World’s Largest Startup Campus). I don’t complain about any of it, and I rarely even talk about it, because all I have is an amazing journey.

But today isn’t about me, It’s about my first 100 GitHub stars.
