No, really. I have dyslexia. I can't even write accurately most of the time. I didn't know what a Meta pixel was, what a tag manager did, or how to read a single line of code. But I just knew I wanted to build something — and "no" has never existed for me. If something needs to be done, I don't see it as impossible. I just get into it and figure it out.
I grew up in a small town in Pakistan, born and raised in a Christian family. I worked my first job at 17 — twelve-hour shifts stocking shelves in 45°C heat. The paycheck for an entire week bought flour, oil, and tea for my family.
I taught myself English in Yahoo chatrooms. Started selling prom dresses to American teenagers from my room in Pakistan. Paid my own way through college in the Netherlands. Eventually moved to Amsterdam with nothing but conviction.
Everything I know, I learned by doing — and by being around people who were doing it better than me. It doesn't matter if it's tech, marketing, compliance, or something completely new. I just get into it and get it done.
