I've always wanted to ask my income and expenses questions like "how much did I spend on gifts for my wife last year?", things that would take a while to analyse in the app's analytics. So I built FRING (Fahd's Really Intelligent Numbers Guy) to help out. Working out the kinks but it's pretty decent! Named after the meticulius Gus from Breaking Bad :)
A multidisciplinary approach combining deep product strategy, hands-on AI-augmented engineering, and ten years of real-world execution across fintech, proptech, logistics, and consulting.
