Keep going until the map changes.

Before smartphones put a blue dot on every road, I would take the Jeep into the Hajar Mountains with paper maps, a compass, and more curiosity than certainty.

The best days were the ones when the route ran out and the next turn had to be found.

I spent fifteen years in the UAE, exploring those mountains, meeting my wife, and building a life that eventually brought us—with our two daughters—to Texas.

Hajar Labs takes its name from that practice: keep going, pay attention, and make a map where none exists.

I build useful apps from things I’ve learned and needed myself. I hope they help you too.
