Maan Ashgar
IT Product Manager, Game Designer, Illustrator
Dammam, Saudi ArabiaThanks to the diversification of my learning time, I gained a couple of skills in multiple areas of interest, namely product/project management, programming, illustration, game design, and investing. This turned out to be particularly useful in a startup environment and in roles that need knowledge in more than one discipline, like project management and product management.
I have finished one life goal of shipping a game played by 150 thousand players daily. Now I'm pursuing these goals next: Ship a game with +1 million DAU, become a great illustrator, and building something worthy of the history books. (Update: Kammelna.com acquisition is one of the highest in Saudi Arabia's internet business history).
