Roshan
Roshan is a Dubai-based friend, fellow builder, and the guy who runs free weekly tech classes because he genuinely believes everyone should know this stuff.
What He Means to Me
Roshan walked into a co/Build event on January 9, 2026, said "Hi here I'm Roshan," and within weeks became one of my regular people. That's how Dubai works — you show up, you're real, and suddenly you're part of something.
He calls himself a "very shy guy" but then goes and runs free 45-minute tech classes every week for anyone who wants to learn. His philosophy: "no confusion, no big big English." That's the same energy behind AI + Frnds — make it accessible, no gatekeeping.
What I love about Roshan is that he's technically sharp but doesn't make it about ego. He'll look at my site and say "your LCP is slow, use WebP" and then help me fix it. He helped me extract Gulfood exhibitor data using Apify. He even found a way to duplicate RFID cards for 60 AED instead of the standard 500 AED.
"Deep work with this man" — he said that about working together, and honestly, same.
What We Do Together
- Badminton at Al Quoz (after 7PM)
- Gym at Gymnation
- Tech collaboration — web scraping, performance optimization, RFID research
- Entrepreneur events — Sharjah Entrepreneur Festival, World EF Dubai 2026
- Regular co/Build attendance
Free Tech Classes
Roshan runs free 45-minute online tech classes weekly. Practical topics, no jargon. His approach lines up perfectly with what I'm doing with AI + Frnds — the belief that knowledge should be free and accessible to everyone, not just people who can afford a bootcamp.
