I did the books
before I wrote
the code.
BBA in accounting, self-taught into software, now running a licensed FZE out of Sharjah’s SRTIP and SPARK ecosystem. I write about two things: how to actually get somewhere you have not been, and what serious software genuinely costs to build.
What this is
Two jobs, and they need each other
Motivational writing without evidence is worth very little. The numbers are the evidence.
Momentum
How to start, and how to not stop.
Written for anyone trying to get somewhere they have not been before — with the receipts, not the platitudes.
Craft & cost
Serious systems, and what they genuinely cost to build.
What the work actually involves and what it actually costs, with the numbers left in.
