About

Hi!

I'm Asad Dhamani, a Full Stack Developer and Indie Hacker living in India.

I love solving problems through technology, and I'm an expert on AI, both as a consumer of AI tools, and as a developer of them.

My journey into the world of technology began at the age of 12, when, after being fascinated by computers, I took upon a challenge to create an operating system of my own, and I haven't looked back since!
