Documented progress - a snapshot of the work as it happens. First up is Mizan, a privacy-first app now on Google Play. All of what you see is live, and made mostly solo.

Timeline

August 2023

My first PC build

Picked every part and assembled it myself: a used RTX 3080 scouted for the best deal I could find, a Ryzen 5 7600X, 32 GB of 6000 MHz RAM. Built for gaming, honestly. Within months it became the machine that builds, runs, and tests everything else on this page.

September 2023

Novacore

A dropshipping store at novacore.world. My first true try at doing something online: products, suppliers, marketing, the whole game. I shut it down after I learned what I wanted to learn - mainly that I prefer making software to reselling products.

2025

Property dealership internship

Three weeks working in a property dealership: learning firsthand how deals come together. Listings, clients, follow-ups, all the hard, boring work behind every successful sale.

March 2026

A personal AI assistant

An agent of my own, built on OpenClaw, the platform I maintain at home. It has memory, scheduling, and replies across Discord and Telegram, and it is hosted on my own computer, under my control, not somebody’s cloud.

April 2026

workwithzaki.com

This site’s first version. Raw HTML and CSS, no framework, pushed to Vercel. The page you are reading is its second life.

May 2026

An AI trading bot

An OpenClaw-driven bot that monitors markets and executes a strategy during my time at school. Designed to learn where automation and markets meet, run with small stakes and tight limits.

June 2026

Mizan

A privacy-first expense tracker, started early 2026 and launched on Google Play the same June. Built end to end in Flutter, all by me. Offline by default, zero accounts, zero telemetry. Encrypted backups, multi-currency, a debt tracker, and an AI assistant that lives on the phone. 340+ tests protect the money math.

A home server

A Raspberry Pi running OpenClaw around the clock. The assistant, the automations, my agents, all of it lives there. Quiet, inexpensive, always on.

July 2026

Anthropic courses

Finished Anthropic’s AI courses: prompting, building with the API, designing agents. Structure under what I had been doing on instinct.

Let’s talk.

If you are building something privacy-first, app-shaped, or agent-shaped, I want to hear about it. Short, scoped work welcome. I read everything and answer honestly.
