how do you tell all the stories in your head?
thatās a question thatās put me in some of the toughest situations iāve had to deal with for a long time.
doing the things you truly love can easily get buried under work, ambition, goals, trends, and if youāre not careful, you slowly lose the spark that makes you you.
this year, iām taking a leap of faith to explore everything iāve longed to do beyond my career in building products and design, with one simple purpose: to be happy, live healthy, and spend more time with the people and things that truly matter, starting with creating and yes, singing more too. š
speaking of music, iāll be sharing more of that with @echoesofcodemathics .
if youād like to explore that journey with me, follow along. š
2 weeks ago, i built a private, autonomous ai agent to help me chat with my contacts whenever iām unavailable or need time to focus. turns out, iām not the only one who needs something like this.
if this resonates with you or your business, join the waitlist to become one of our early testers.

coastline by @hollowcoves is one of those songs that never really leaves my mind, ever!
i hope it warms your heart the way itās warmed mine ever since i listened to it over six years ago.

last night, i built an autonomous whatsapp ai agent using @trycursor , @claudeai , and @chatgpt to help me respond to contacts when iām unavailable.
itās built in swift and runs privately on my local machine. this is powered by @ollama_ai , an open-source tool that lets you run models like llama3.2, mistral, and gemma directly on macos, windows, or linux.
it took a few intense hours of iteration to get this first working version live. and while it works, thereās still a lot to improve, especially around privacy, security, ux, and fine-tuning the model so it consistently communicates in my voice, in first person, without sounding robotic.
iām curious, would you ever use an ai chat agent to communicate on your behalf, especially for business? š¤
disclaimer: this is purely experimental and built for learning and testing. if youāre building something similar, i strongly recommend using official company APIs and vetted frameworks/libraries for production use.
coastline by #hollowcoves is one of my favorite songs. it captures exactly what i feel most alive, away from the noise, right under the sun (not the scorching one, though š„µ), surrounded by the people i cherish.
i recorded this cover months ago with one clear vision - to film it on a hill, right beneath the sun. and guess what? i finally got to bring that to life with one of the most talented people i know, @dijitalnomad ! who happens to be my gee!! š¤ (another reason to have creative friends around you š)
many thanks to the one and only, @__fkyo , my good friendā¦again, for mixing and mastering this piece to perfection. him and i started working on this in august last year! š¤Æ
full video dropping soon!
unboxing my secondary camera - the #sony #fx30 cinema line, shot with a sony fx3 and the fx30 on a #sigma 16mm lens.
what would you consider your secondary lens for your filmmaking?
#fx3 #davinci
iāve been using the #sony #fx3 for almost two years now and iāve never once second-guessed that decision.
when i needed a secondary camera mainly for video, i couldāve gone with my a7iii, perhaps, but the limitations wouldāve slowed down my workflow in post.
so i picked up the #fx30 instead, and iām excited to put this thing to real work.
unveiling video coming right up š¬
before san francisco, I have lived in dubai, UAE and itās home for me at this point too. it was the foundation of my ābuilderā energy and i am excited to be back again this winter!
while i am here, iāll be at the @solana breakpoint in Abu Dhabi, from the 11th to 13th, and I am looking forward to connecting with builders, founders and stablecoin maestros as Abdulfatai Suleiman calls it š
fun fact: few months ago, the @blockradar team won first place at the crypto valley startup competition live in switzerland, it feels really good for the team to have this as one of the perks of being a winner!
if you see a fairly tall guy with some locs and most likely putting on a new balance 9060 shoes - itās definitely me, say hi! šš¼
