Robotics, software, and a studio I run from Lebanon. Still in school. Already shipping.

01About

I am seventeen, in grade 12, and I run a company.

I started with block coding because it was the only thing available. It stopped being enough quickly, so I moved to Python, then to C++, then to circuits — because the thing I actually wanted was for the code to do something in the room, not just on the screen.

That is still the whole idea. A sensor reads, a motor turns, a page loads. The interesting part is always the gap between what you intended and what the hardware actually does.

Vanta came out of the same instinct. Someone needed something built properly, and I wanted to find out whether I could be the one to build it.

02The company

Vanta

A design and engineering studio.

I founded it, I run it, and I build in it. When the company is one person, the sales call, the design file, the code and the deploy are the same job.

TODO(content): who Vanta builds for and what it ships.

05Timeline
  1. START

    Block coding

    Dragging blocks around until the logic clicked. The first time a program did what I meant.

  2. THEN

    Python and C++

    Real languages, real errors. A compiler is an honest teacher.

  3. THEN

    Arduino and ESP32

    Making code move something physical. Sensors, motors, and a great deal of debugging.

  4. NOW

    Building for the web

    Interfaces, 3D, and shipping things other people actually use.
