Play story
Chapter 01The first build

AGE
11

Before the résumé,
there was a ridiculous idea.

“I’m going to make Facebook.”

So he opened Udemy, learned web development and programming, and started building. Not because it was assigned. Because the internet felt like a place you could invent.

01

Learn the language

HTML, CSS, logic, and the thrill of making an idea respond.

02

Build the impossible

By 12½, a working chat system existed on his screen.

03

Learn the hard lesson

The data disappeared in 2021. Backups entered the curriculum.

Chapter 02The real work

Education comes first.

A lesson should live longer than an exam.

Hasan teaches computer science through live code, stories, mistakes, and the kind of examples students repeat after class. The goal is not merely a correct answer. It is a mind that knows how to find one.

Make it fun enough to remember for life.

Chapter 03Every learner counts

Different minds.
Different doors.

The best teachers keep finding the handle.

Working with special-needs students sharpened what mattered most: patience, play, trust, and the courage to redesign a lesson around the child in front of you.

Chapter 04A decade in motion

One thread.
Many mediums.

Teaching led to media. Media led to design. Design led to business. Technology held the whole thing together.

Teach the person

Private tutoring, classroom teaching, exam marking, and online instruction—from GCSE through A Level.

PKR 250 per poster

The design career began small: one poster, one client, one chance to get better.

Build the studio

Insight-PK grew into a multidisciplinary creative studio spanning brand, video, strategy, and campaigns.

Own the classroom

At Sceptre College: A-Level computer science, independent batches, curriculum, student support—and marketing work beyond class.

Go deeper at FAST

Computer science at FAST NUCES: algorithms, operating systems, software engineering, AI, and the theory behind the instinct.

Take teaching global

Edmento brought UK learners, four exam boards, and a wider classroom. PreMed.pk added educational video production.

Found The Great Student

An eight-person EdTech startup built around storytelling, psychology, media, and a better student experience.

PKR 7–10k per hour

Design and teaching became high-value work—not by choosing one craft, but by letting every craft compound.

Chapter 06Under the hood

If it can run,
it can be understood.

Linux became a workshop. Self-hosting became an education in deployment, networking, uptime, failure, recovery, and ownership.

Web apps • databases • internal tools • media workflows • private services • experiments that deserved their own machine.

The addresses stay private. The infrastructure lessons do not.

Chapter 07The whole instrument

Ten years in.
Still curious.

The next lesson, system, film, class, or impossible little idea starts with a conversation.
