👋🏽 Hi! I’m Salman
I live my life wearing different hats—startup founder, CTO, web & iOS engineer, teacher, writer, illustrator and DJ, to name a few. I wrote about the benefits of embracing a generalist lifestyle in a popular essay, The Polymath Playbook.
This website is a digital garden for my writing—essays, notes, newsletters and more. Writing online has changed my life for the better in so many ways. It has opened new doors, helped me build self-awareness, and fostered new friendships. Most of all, it gives me a channel to discover and express my truest self. If you’re curious to explore the power of writing, be sure to check out my free writing guide.
📖 Fables
Wandering Spirits: I wrote and illustrated a book of modern fables. Inspired by books like The Little Prince, it’s filled with tales that feed the soul, tug the heart and spark the mind. It’s available worldwide on Amazon and all major book retailers.
Modern Fables: I’ve also launched a new section of my newsletter dedicated to fables. Check out some of the stories I’ve shared: The Fool is Free, The Boat of Stillness, The Other Side, and Pay the Piper.
