Half Filipino. Half Syrian. Based in Sweden. Working remotely with US-based companies. My entire identity is a global puzzle. And honestly, I think that’s my edge. I’ve learned that not fitting into one mold is actually a gift. I know how to navigate complexity, cross cultures, and keep things running smoothly — even when time zones, language cues, and work styles don’t match. It’s taught me empathy. It's shaped how I support people. It’s made me deeply attuned to nuance. My work is global... because I am too. 👋😊

@thisiskp_ @Netlify YAAAAAS 🔥🔥🔥

BREAKING: We just crossed 10 million developers on @Netlify 🚀 That's 10 million builders who chose us to ship their ideas to the world. So.. instead of a blog post, we built something you can actually interact and play with: Introducing: Netlify Capsules. Here's what it is: > Pick one of your Netlify projects > Add a photo, song, and note that matters to you > Deploy it into virtual orbit > Use AR to find your capsule floating in the sky above you We asked the creative developer @leemartin (Netlify power user) to turn our community into a constellation. And boy did he deliver! Now every one of you whether a builder or a developer gets coordinates. Every capsule tells a story. Open the AR viewer. Look up. Your capsule is waiting. Share your link and friends can find it in their sky too. Here's my capsule: 10-million-devs.netlify.com/capsules/06 Go launch your capsule → 10-million-devs.netlify.com

@thisiskp_ I've refreshed my feed 100x waiting for the announcement 👀🤣

Here’s a subtle hint of what will be a huge focus in my next thing 👀

In case you needed this reminder today.

@thisiskp_ @atsaotsao Haha! They totally are! 😄

@_waela @atsaotsao Thank you. They’re “above the line “ imo

Here’s some hilarious output of Magic Thumbnail 🤠 I asked our tool to generate new thumbnail graphics inspired by “Veritasium” YouTube channel but instead for my podcast episode w/ @atsaotsao Nano Banana went bananas (in a good way) 🍌 but kept our facial consistency which is a huge deal fyi

@MayowaWilliams7 Love that, and thank you for subscribing! If you're ready to start delegating, the first two editions are already out. Here’s the link to read the first one: doingtoomuch.beehiiv.com/p/stop-doing-i… Hope it helps and let me know what resonates! :)

@_waela Yup, count me in. I have subscribed, looking forward to learning from them. Seems I have been doing too much and need to star5 delegating some tasks.

For months, I’ve been thinking of building something I wish existed when I first started supporting founders and VCs. It’s called "You’re Doing Too Much" - a weekly newsletter about letting go of the work you shouldn’t be doing and leaning on support to scale. It’s a 3-minute read that might change how you look at your to-do list. The website is live. And I’d love for you to join in. ✨ If you’ve been meaning to delegate but don’t know where to start, this is for you. And if you’re in a support role like me, feel free to steal my systems to keep your clients happy. Subscribe here: doingtoomuch.beehiiv.com

🚀 Launch Alert 🚀 2 days ago I saw this below tweet from @levelsio and felt inspired to take action and ship something 🫡 Quite randomly I called @gill_works and started talking about how mind blowing Nano Banana felt He was shocked bc he was literally testing it as I spoke and we thought this is a sign and "let's ship something while the iron is hot" OUR ONLY RULE WAS: to build a tool we'd use ourselves I told him how HARD it felt to come up with thumbnail ideas for my Youtube channel/podcast so we thought .. lets use NANO BANANA and create an AI generator 🍌 Introducing "Magic Thumbnail" -- an AI powered Youtube thumbnail generator which has tons of viral templates from your fav and top creators (like @MrBeast, @garyvee etc) It's scrappy [web only for now] but the core feature works LIKE MAGIC. Pls check it out and lmk what you think :)

📣 The first 'You’re Doing Too Much' is out now. Inside this week’s edition: - How to spot tasks you should hand off - 3-question filter for what stays on your plate - Real-life delegation example you can copy - Ready-to-send email for making the ask - A tool to make meetings less work Read and subscribe ⤵️

"Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become." - @JamesClear Even if you don’t feel like “that person” yet, keep showing up like you are.

Sometimes you just have to stop and lick your wounds. We talk so much about resilience About bouncing back, pushing through, staying strong. But we rarely talk about what resilience actually costs you if you never pause. Because even quiet people carry a lot. We hold space for others. We stay composed. We deliver, even when we’re hurting. But behind all that is a human heart. And sometimes, that heart cracks a little. So today, I’m reminding myself (and maybe you too) that it’s okay to stop and tend to what hurts. It’s okay to log off. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to let the inbox wait, and let yourself heal. Even the strongest among us need time to lick our wounds, quietly, before we can stand tall again. That, too, is part of the work. 🤍 #grief #healing #resilience

You don’t need to prove anything today. You just need to stay present.

gratitude hits different when you’re halfway through the week and still showing up with love

taking 10 minutes to reset your brain is still progress

Reminder: Make rest an important part of the workflow Not a reward for surviving it

@thisiskp_ None of it would’ve been possible if I hadn’t gotten the BEST first client ever. Every time I introduce myself, I end up going on a tangent about you and how much better you made me at work and in life. ❤️

@_waela moldbreaker, changemaker, gamechanger... you're the best! :)
