hi! i'm zaid.

i like making stuff on the internet.

wrote my first line of code at 13, then spent most of middle school messing around with game dev, arduino circuits, and random html css projects.

for a while, i stopped. life happened. school happened. but about 4 years ago, i picked it back up.

my first real attempt was during buildspace s3... built a chrome extension called tabmaster to manage tabs. it got 7 users. i was so proud of it lol.

but buildspace s5 is when things started getting interesting. i built zilta, an ai mock interviewer for students. 297 people ended up using it. wild. eventually sold it to someone in toronto on sideprojectors.com because i kinda got bored of it.

then i went into d2d sales. knocked on doors. learned a ton. ended up building leadflowmanager.com - a crm for sales teams. launched it. got some users. then turned out other companies don't really need it. so it flopped.

right now? i'm working full-time as a software dev and figuring out what to build next.

we'll see.
