Where you'll find me
Everything I do for the Triangle's Muslim community: a seat on the Islamic Association of Raleigh's Shura council, talks wherever I'm asked, and the tools that keep things running behind the scenes.
Shura council
A member of the Majlis ash-Shura, the governing council of the Islamic Association of Raleigh.
Speaking
[Talks, khutbahs and panels: title, venue and date for each.]
Ask me to help
[What you want people to reach out about: a talk, a tool for their masjid, a fundraiser.]
Built for IARThe IAR Portal
One sign-in for room bookings, purchase orders, IT and marketing requests, with the paperwork behind it automated so files land where they belong. Live since November 2026.
Salam Y'all
A free app for Muslims in the Triangle: prayer times from 17 masjids, more than 3,300 halal restaurants across 28 metros, local businesses and events. Built end to end, iOS widgets included.
KashTalksCash
Sixty-second reels on halal personal finance: which accounts make sense, how screening works, and what to ask before you put money anywhere.
A little about me
From the Okavango to the City of Oaks.
I was born in Botswana, near the Okavango Delta, and now call Raleigh home. I studied political science at North Carolina Central, work in finance, and sit on the Shura council of the Islamic Association of Raleigh. Mostly I like building things people actually use.
