Hi, Asfiya!

(And As-Salam-O-Alaikum!)

I know this may be... a *bit* much.

Please don't feel overwhelmed.

It'll all make sense, just...

To properly introduce myself...

My Hustle 💻

Professionally, by day, I'm an AI Engineer / Scientist working for the Prime Minister's and Chief Minister's Office, lost in data & code. By night (and on weekends), my Nawabi roots from Lucknow & Aligarh take over, and I run a cloud kitchen, and I paint, sketch, bake, and write.


I'm also passionate about building things that matter- like a mental health app (and its version for the Muslim community) and a pet care company I co-founded (because cats and other pets deserve the best 🐾).

What I'm Like ✨

I'm a big movies fan (ask me about theories 💥) (other media too tbh), I love to sketch, and I'm convinced I make the best Italian food in town (Sidewalk and the other cafés have nothing on the sick pesto pasta I make from scratch!). 🍝

I know a little something about everything, and and I’ll tell you the weirdest facts about the things you walk past every day. I click pictures of everything I like. I love food. I love long drives and long walks. I love cities, and learning everything about the places I live in.

Which... brings me to this. A bit extra? Maybe. But it's the best way I knew to get my thoughts in order.

All in all, a few things that make me, me.

WHY?

This is... well, this is the simple part, I guess.

I found you (incredibly) interesting. It's not just one thing.

It's a curiosity. A "I really want to talk to and get to know this person more" kind of feeling.

And this is my very sincere (and slightly cheesy?) way of saying just that.

A little bit of cheese, as promised.

Two Truths & A Lie

A quick game to make sure I have your attention...

Okay, jokes aside...

I wanted to share a few things I've noticed.

You're the prettiest reason my brain has ever refused to focus on anything else.

Tap to reveal...

Honestly? Just how much I've wanted to get to know you properly.

Tap to reveal...

Which, after all this... I'm hoping you'll let me do.

So, with all that said...

There's just one last thing to ask.

Are you single?

I wanted to say this to you before I end this- There’s not a Shakespeare sonnet
Or a Beethoven quartet
That’s easier to like than you
Or harder to forget.

You think that sounds extravagant?
I haven’t finished yet —
I would like to know you more than I would like
To have a classic shawarma and coffee
on a cold, breezy evening.

So... how about that coffee?

(My treat. And I promise, I ask in the most sincere way. No pressure, just a normal coffee, or iced tea, or burger, or biryani? You can even bring your friend/cousin/etc along if you want. And, I promise I'm better than the AI models and websites I make.)

Yeah, okay...

Thanks for scrolling, Asfiya 💛

Hope to chat soon!
