Tahsin Ahmed
Trained as an architect but cared more about how people use things, so I moved into product. Today I work directly with founders and their engineers, and build my own apps with AI.
I design money products like RedDoor and Opendoor Finance, where confusing design hurts people.

SMS budget tracker
A no-code tracker that reads my bank's SMS alerts and files each spend under a budget, so I never type a transaction in.

TV player for Apple TV
An IPTV player designed around the Apple TV remote: one focused tile at a time, big enough to read from the sofa.
When I'm not on client work, I build small tools for myself. One files my company's taxes on EmaraTax, one tracks the wind at my favourite spots, and one reads my bank SMS to keep a budget. It's the fastest way I know to learn something new. And when I need to think, I go for a drive around Dubai at night.
Experience
I've been lucky to fall into this career. Most of my work has come through a network of talented friends and peers who brought opportunities my way, and I'm grateful to every one of them.
