Partner & CEO, Mikaels Labs

Building <div>I love to help people understand Technology and Humans, so that we can improve business and life together.<br><br>I’m on a mission to inspire people to become Business Leaders who shape our tech-driven future.<br><br>I do that by helping them enhance their communication skills, teaching them how to collaborate with other domains, supporting them to gain cross-subject knowledge, and inspiring them to narrow down and master their own craft.<br><br>I’m the CEO of Mikaels Labs, trying to bridge the gap between business and tech by facilitating reliable, inspired, and fulfilling relationships between companies and developers.<br><br>I’ve been on stage many times, trying to explain how Business and Tech can collaborate better, just by making an effort to understand each other. I do the same here on LinkedIn through my content.<br><br>For this mission, I’ve been awarded as one of the top ten Entrepreneurs of the Year in 2016 by Payoneer; written articles for TechCrunch, GoalCast, SmashingMagazine, and have also consulted the Estonian Government for their Artificial Intelligence initiatives. I’ve also lived in United States for a short while, learning the ins-and-outs of the Startup world in Telluride Venture Accelerator, where I met my co-founder and decided to move to Tallinn, Estonia.<br><br>In 2009, I was just a stereotypical introverted guy in Karachi, Pakistan, finishing my Bachelors in Commerce, embarking on a journey of self-exploration in the world of PHP and JavaScript. When I started working as a Software Developer, it pained me to see how developers are treated as code-churning slaves with constant monitoring and restrictions. They are not given creative freedom for growth, let alone providing an environment and support to accelerate it.<br><br>I decided to change that! And so can you.<br><br>To show how it is done, at Mikaels Labs we have created a culture of trust and true freedom. As long as you have a growth-mindset, and you’re a good human-being, you can be a part of our team, and we trust you to make commitments that you can keep — how you do that, is up to you, and we’re there to help.<br><br>We invite all business leaders, and employees, to understand the importance of empathy and positive culture, and we’re here to help you achieve that — if only you want to change!<br><br>Let’s talk. I’m just a message away 💌<br><br>More info: owaisafaq.com</div>
