I build practical businesses and the systems behind them — shaped by an upbringing across Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Canada, and years of working and travelling across Asia.

01 · My story

A life built across countries, industries and reinventions.

I didn't follow one career ladder. I moved, adapted, learned how different industries work, and gradually shifted from working inside systems to designing the systems myself.

CHAPTER 01

Pakistan

My early childhood. I lived there until around Grade 6 — the first part of a life that would never really belong to only one country.

CHAPTER 02

Sri Lanka

Grades 6 through 10. A formative stretch that kept Sri Lanka part of my identity even after I later built my adult life elsewhere.

CHAPTER 03

Canada

From Grade 10 into adulthood. Ontario became home, where I finished school, worked across hospitality and customer service, and became a Canadian citizen.

CHAPTER 04

Asia + Remote

Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and beyond. Remote work and digital design gave me the freedom to work while travelling instead of staying in one cycle.

CHAPTER 05

Back to Sri Lanka

In 2026 I returned with a different purpose: apparel, business operations, education projects and software systems that connect all of them.

02 · What I'm building

Businesses are better when the operations behind them actually work.

My current work sits where apparel, logistics, product development and technology overlap.

Apparel · Operations

TR Global Solutions

Merchandising, sourcing and manufacturing coordination across Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Canada — connecting buyers, factories, samples, production and shipping.

An apparel product-development and training centre built around practical skills: pattern development, garment technology, technical design and industry-ready learning.

Technology · Internal Tools

Business systems

I design internal software around real operational problems — shipment manifests, SKU/barcode workflows, inventory, invoices, buyer portals, alerts and staff workflows.

Digital Design · VR

Shawtie

A remote 3D/VR design studio and creator catalogue that became a real digital business — built around avatars, assets, community support and a global customer base.

From spreadsheets to systems

I build around the work, not around the software.

At TR Global, the tools grew out of actual daily problems: sample tracking, buyer communication, barcodes, packing, incoming stock, shipment history and finance documentation. The goal is simple — fewer disconnected files, less repeated work, better visibility.
