Co-Founder & CTO

Hi! I'm Ahmed, I grew up in Tunisia playing professional Tennis. At age 16, I graduated high school and went to study Computer Science. I learned to code by building and shipping games on mobile & web. At age 20, I was hired as the first technical intern at Revolut in the Computer Vision team. During my time there, I built and shipped the selfie authentication feature to protect millions of customers from fraudsters using face recognition. This led to dropping out of school and continuing full-time as the youngest employee at Revolut! I've been working in AI/ML for the past 5 years and currently building my dream company with my dream co-founder: Nativ
