From idea to working voice agent — in minutes, no code

Voice is the interface most businesses actually want and almost none can build. TalkifAI collapses that: describe the agent, connect a number, go live. I built the whole product surface — agent orchestration and telephony through to the dashboard, docs, and billing.

Play-to-earn gaming for teens, on a revenue split

The model worked. Players earned around PKR 30,000 a month and we split it, so nobody needed money up front to start. Then the November 2022 crypto crash hit and token earnings fell roughly 99% — the same play that paid PKR 30,000 a month was suddenly worth about PKR 300. The unit economics never broke; the asset underneath them did. Players stopped logging in and I closed it rather than string them along.

A marketplace for custom accessories and printing

The bet was to take Pakistan Chowk — Karachi's dense, physical bazaar of small printers and accessory makers — online as a marketplace.

It failed — but it taught me that marketplace liquidity, not software, is the real problem.
